Dear Olive and family. I was so saddened to see that your dear husband, John, had passed. You both were so very special to me during our friendship at ILLINI BANK, Springfield, Illinois. Your happiness in the Lord and each other was beautiful to see. Sincerely, Bobbie Berola

John was a long time friend in the ministry. He was my mentor in the early years when he was at Centenary and I was at Murrayville. He was my District Superintendent when we organized the Augusta Larger Parish. He was a fine minister and leader of our Conference. God grant him peace and joy in Paradise.
