Terry and David,
I was a newlywed when I moved to 270 10th Ave. and was blessed to have John and Iva as our neighbors. I always felt like "mom and dad" were right next door. Your dad was always helpful with advice from household problems, lawn care and simple life lessons.Bob lived there a year before me and I remember him telling me,"you will love our neighbors", and he was right.I am thankful for having John and Iva in our lives for 13years while we lived next door. What a blessing to have known such lovely people.

Terry & David -- My sympathies on the loss of the man I knew as "Uncle Johnny." I have fond memories of him and your mom surprising us with a visit, or us knocking on their door in the Bethlehem for a drop-in visit. And I remember hearing him and LeRoy, Margaret, Sara & Tommy laughing and arguing while playing cards and drinking beer. I'm sure he's playing pinochle or telling a story to a crowd in heaven right now.

My sympathies to all of the family on John's death. He was a neat guy and I enjoyed our time together at Bethany. He and Iva were so active here.

David,

I’m sorry to learn of your father’s passing. It appears God blessed him with a long and happy life. From time to time I think of you and other Troop 22 friends from the past.
