He is survived by his sister Christine (Ken), brothers Steve (Peggy), Robert (Irma) , mother Marianne, better half, Debbie, 4 children, & his 4 legged critters, Stormy & Precious, who miss him dearly.

I am so sorry for your loss Debbie. I hope knowing he is in peace now and not hurting brings you some comfort. John was like a brother to me and both Milt and I loved him very much. Milt loved going hunting with him and taking him to spring training and we both had so much fun when he came up to Almanor with us. We also loved the bowling tournaments we went to, especially Corpus Chisti and Albuquerque. I am thankful we have great memories to think back on. He is out of all that pain he had endured for so long, and we are happy about that, but we will miss him so much. Rest in peace John.

You will be greatly missed John. You have been an amazing friend for many years! Chris and I have enjoyed many bowling tournaments and trips with you (and Debbie) over the years. We will miss that wonderful smile you tried so hard at times not to show. And the Giants/Padres banter that Chris and you shared on many occasions. Forever in our hearts,
Love,
