Becky, and Family,
Very sorry for your loss. We who only knew Grumpy from the golf course will miss him dearly. He was always entertaining with his humor and made us all feel wanted in his own special way. I valued him as a friend and once again will miss him. He will always be in our hearts.

Dear Becky, Jim, and Betsy,

We were so sorry to learn of John's passing. He and I go way back to our birth, I was born just 8 hours before John and of course our families were very close, i.e. our fathers working together and our families living close and also going to the same church. I could go on and on. Not to mention he was also a class mate and married one of my closest friends in high school.

Just know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

My parents, Earl and Deanie Berwager also send their sympathy.

To the Family of John Little,
You have my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of John. I knew him and worked beside him for many years at the CGC. He was one of the greatest men I ever have had the pleasure of knowing.
We are fellow Redskin fans and he surely was the GREATEST fan the Skins could ever have! I will always think of "Old Grumpy" especially during football season.
I will miss you "Mr. Little" and know you'll be smiling down on us all during your Golf Tournament.
God Bless you Becky, you were the love of his life and he always said so!
