Elly and family,
Ann and I were very sad to hear that John passed away. I always considered both of you as dear friends all through PHS and after. We enjoyed seeing you at our Class Reunions (when we could make them). Reliving the good times over a few drinks was always great in your company. Our sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. Sorry we were unable to be there for his Service. John will always be remembered!

I was very sorry to here of John's passing. I also grew up in Plymouth & remember John & his family. They were all very nice people. I remember playing basketball in the basement of John's father's church. Thoughts & prayers to Fuzzy & family.

John was our neighbor on Pebble Lane. He was always there to help with anything you needed. We shared many good times and great stories which along with his friendship we will always treasure.
Our hearts go out to Ellie, Eric and Jeff and their families.
God Bless You.

I am going to miss seeing you John taking care of your yard and our talks in the driveway. You were the first person we met when we moved in our house and you became a great friend over the years. You will be truly missed.
