Dear Carol, Jeff, Penny and family. I remember the first time I met John, back in high school, I was intimated. He was a big guy with a stern, father of 6 face. Over the next 20 minutes, sitting on the coach watching TV with him, I found out what an avid sports fan and nice guy he was. John was a good man. When I think of him, I will smile. May he Rest in Peace now. Love, Joanne Hepp

John will be missed. I wish you all peace and comfort in the days ahead. I will always remember the way John enjoyed talking to the kids. He had a great smile and was quick to laugh when around them. I am glad he is at rest now.
