I have been thinking about John quite a bit lately. I remembered he was in a TV commercial. It made me smile. What a fun person he was.

John.....what can we (the Prorock's), say as a family, about you and your family. 50+ years of love, laughter, kindness, memories, and a devoted friendship. You will be deeply missed as a spouse, dad, grandfather, and a warm hearted friend to the rest of us, with a laugh that we will never forget. You will be a tremendous angel for your wonderful family. Try and keep Stan and Jackie in line as well for the Prorock family :-) We have all been blessed in so many ways by you. God Bless. Gary, Janelle and McKenna Rodham, Bill, Kristin and Carson Pesic, and Helen Prorock.
