My thoughts and prayers are with John's family during this difficult time. I've had the opportunity of knowing John since I first started at State Farm in Auto Company more than 30 years ago. I'm sorry I was unable to attend the calling hours this past week as my mother had surgery this past week. Take care! Sincerely, Ginny Grady, State Farm Insurance Company.

To the Nethers family....I am so sorry to hear about John. You are in my prayers. I worked with John and he was one of the most laid back and friendly guys around. He always had a smile and something nice to say, and he was always willing to help. He sure did love his family--that was very apparent. May the Peace of God fill you now. He is well.
