Pop´s grandson, John, and I recently shared a memory when Pop built John a table with sides to eat at because John was so messy. John´s son is a chip off the old block & John still has that table Pop built. Pop called it the trough. It´s still referred to as that today. LOL We miss you Pop. Looking forward to seeing you & Mom again.

So very sorry to hear of the Priest's loss. A loss to the community also. My dad's buddy for years and years as well as our neighbor for decades. Rest in Peace, Uncle John. We'll see you bye and bye. Sas

My prayers are with the entire Priest family. Losses are never easy for those of us who remain. We do find great comfort, though, knowing we will be together again in eternity. - Roberta Berger (friend of Linda)

Pop was a kind and gentle man. A tower of strength. He had a firm foundation in his faith. His hope was placed in the truth that he will rise again when his Lord Jesus Christ returns for him and all those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior. I'll always remember Pop with love.

All my love and thoughts go to my dear Aunt Doris. Uncle John was one of the kindest and sweetest men I have ever known. He was my hero when I was a little girl. He would always take me with them when they went to the fair and many other places. Although I did not get to see him much in recent years he will always hold a special place in my heart. I loved him dearly. I know he is in a better place.
