John Gould Jr.

Haing sold John and Shirleys home on US31, on my way home each day when I pass by the home, I am reminded of them every day....also I remember when cleaning out their home, John asked me if I run accross one of the class A army uniform buttons to save it for him as he lost one from his uniform. I gave him one of my extras that I had when I was a commissioned officer, as I had some extras....he was most appreciative...I felt great that I was able to help him....he and Shirley were super great...

John and Shirley were great neighbors and lovely people. Sincerely kind, humble, and filled with wisdom. We enjoyed visiting with them both. I remember when we first moved to Manistee and realized we were going to be living next door to the only other Gould in town, at that time. Seeing an Englishman and Scot next to one another and discussing ancestry was fun and entertaining. John's service to our country and his passion for any service men and women were quite admirable. Steve and John...

you will be missed

This is definitely a person that led by example....I feel very privileged to have known John both personally and professionally. He and Shirley were definitely two outstanding individuals
