Those of us who had the privilege of knowing John Vikstrom were truly blessed. If you listened to John, you learned and you were always better for it. John was and Lisa is the most ethical and caring individual anyone could ever meet. Throughout our friendship and professional relationship I never ceased to admire and learn from these two wonderful people. May we all take this moment to wish Lisa and Eric and his family well and John peace in his final journey. I know he is watching.

Johan Vikstrom was our landlord for seven years when we lived on Bouton St in Springdale. He was a great person and always very kind to us. I'm sure he will be deeply missed. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
