I will miss John. We had great conversations while installing the church storm windows each fall, then taking them down again in the spring. John was very dedicated to Our Lady of the Hills Parish, freely giving of his time and talents. A very humble man, John did a lot of little things with no fanfare. I and the rest of his fellow Parish Council members, along with the entire parish community, have John and his family in our prayers.
