I am sending my heartfelt condolences to John's family. I worked with John at Home Depot for several years. He spoke soft and had the kindest heart. When my dad passed away of cancer, he made a point to find me and give me his condolences. Whenever my kids would come to the store, they always wanted to say hello to him. He will truly be missed.

Uncle John’s influence on my life and that of my brother Dave was huge. He shared his incredible skills (camping, building, fishing, and more) with us and opened his heart to love us like a bonus dad. Our summers were highlighted by trips to see Uncle John, and our best holidays were the ones where he joined us. I remember infinite details about those days, and I delight in them all. We never dreamed that he lacked for anything else in his life until he met Sharon. Then we saw a man complete!...

I love you Dad! Thank you for teaching me the value in figuring out how things work and making things with your hands, showing up for others and doing your best, and for being an honest, reliable husband and father.
