Not sure what to say?

We were very saddened to hear of John's passing. John and I went into the Marine Corp together, went to school together and remained friends. My wife Phyllis worked with John at the Electronic Supply Office also. Rest in peace my friend Semper FI

I am so sorry to hear of Johnny Joe's passing. He was such a kind man. Always helpful and ALWAYs smiling. He was surely one of my father, Jack Cervac's favorites. My deepest condolences to our entire family, as his loss is truly a loss to all of us, but especially to Kim and Mark Wilkens and their children Kevin, Adam and Katie and to Gerry Knapowski. With great love and respect. Lisa Cervac

John, May You Rest-In-Peace. Already in Heaven! Thoughts, fond Memories, and Prayer are with You and Family. My Friend You Lived and fulfilled a Happy Glorious Life. The Times, Fun We had. Thinking of You. Sincerely.

My sincere sympathy to John's family.

Rest in peace.

Remembering John as such a gentleman! He was an excellent bowler and a league fixture at Bertrand Lanes. He was a friend to many, attended as many tournaments as he could with a very special group. George Lawrence will be waiting to welcome his friend in eternity.
