John was such a sweet man back when our family went to the Newman center. Him & Norma were such a sweet couple. We know that they are now with Jesus in heaven. They are also reunited with each other. May John rest in peace

John was a faith filled man that lived his life demonstrating the gospel. His beloved wife, Norma, was the light of his life and together they showed how the vocation of marriage shows God's love for us. Although he is missed, he is with the love of his life and in the presence of God and his angels.
