My thoughts and prayer are with you all . I have so many wonderful thoughts of John . He was a kind and loving man . So much fun to be around . He always made me laugh . We were lucky to have John and Cinda for neighbors . Always so easy to talk to . And always willing to give a hand when needed. We were so Thankful for the both of them . Just great people . I will never forget fishing with him . We had the best time . And he was such a good listener . I will never forget him and his beautiful spirit . He reminded me of my Dad that I lost . It was such an honor to call him Dad . I love you Dad ! Someday we will see you again . <3

saddened to read about the passing of Mr. Jurasevich. working for dolly madison, his major competitor, john, always looked out for me, always gave me helpful selling ideas, and always made sure i got a fair market share, if i did not beat him to the punch. always was trying to get me to come over to the other side and work for hostess. love to talk to him about baseball. and old-time cake man, who made our business, what it was, a desirable occupation, with a future. a strong figured individual. miss you Mr. Jurasevich.
