Dear Patty:

I am so very sorry to hear that John passed away. He was the very best "neighbor" a girl could ever have. I don't know how I got so lucky to have him as my "lawn genie" but what a gift I received and not only for that, but for his friendship, conversation and kindness.

Much love and grace to you in this sad time of transition. John was a truly wonderful person and I know that he loved you very, very much.

with love, Shannon

Dear Pat & Family,

I am so sorry to learn of Johnny's passing. He was truly one of the great men of the OFD. Johnny always took such good care of me and the rest of his crew. He simply was one of the few very genuine people that made this world a better place for all of us.

Sincerely, Randy Powers
