I admired John and thought so much of him. We were co-wokers and friends, and I am saddened that he has left this world. I will always remember him fondly.

Ill never forget the times we'd go to JRs house to play pool or swim in the pool and be so afraid of Mr. Challender. When all in all he was a really sweet man. He and his family have always been so welcoming to everyone around. He truly was a wonderful man. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, and I send my thoughts and prayers.

John was as unique an individual as I ever met or will ever meet. Everyone that ever encountered John should celebrate his life and mourn that he left so soon. JT

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Challender family. I'm so sorry to hear about John. I have fond memories of your family assisting in your move, quite a few years ago, but always remembered your family. I'll hold you in my prayers that you'll find comfort in knowing that John is at peace. Treasure the precious memories. God bless.

As we travel the road of life we met many people, some just momentary stops, a few are life long rest area's. John was a welcome rest area for me, his calls in the winter, as he took lunch, just to let me know how Sunny and warm the weather was, made a pleasent break on a dark and cold winter afternoon. We will all miss Him and His calls,(while I think he may have made some of them just to bug me). Be warm in the knowledge that EVERY conversation contained a mention of his family, Son's, Wife, and sometimes even the pets. He was very Proud of His FAMILY. Rest assured that He loved all of you very much.
He will be missed by all of us.
