Not sure what to say?

I knew John while growing up in Millersburg and later working at M&M. He was truly a gentleman and will be missed by many. Our prayers are with the family.

John was a man who truly lived. He loved God, God's creation and people. He was a friend who always encouraged me.

John was a true man of God; he was gentle, compassionate, and an encourager.
We trust that his family will experience God's comfort and peace.

God speed John, you were my dearest friend.

Blessed memories our family have of John,Dot and the family at Free Grace as well as family outings. I'm sure there is great rejoicing in heaven with John, Dot, and Linda greeting each other. May you feel the comfort of our Lords arms around all of you at this time. Paul and Nancy Markel; Cindy Markel

We had a wonderful chat with John before last Christmas. John has always been an inspiration to us. He was a great co-worker at M&M and friend. Heaven is rejoicing. Prayers to the family that God will surround you with his loving arms.

We thoroughly enjoyed the time John and Dot spent with us at Jemison Valley BIC Church, and were privileged to continue our relationship with them beyond that time. Heaven rejoices! Needs no help with his fishing pole now!

My life was enriched as I worked with him on the Atlantic Conference Board for Extension. A great brother!

John was a beloved brother in Christ. He was a blessing in my ministry as he encouraged me to continue education at H.M.C. He now joins Dorothy in their new home in Heaven. Prayers are with his lovely family.
