Uncle John will be greatly missed by all of us. As kids he always had a smile and would tease us and make us laugh. When we grew up, he still teased us and made us laugh. We will certainly miss him. Aunt Blanche, Doug, Peggy, we're here for you, and praying for you. Hugs and Kisses.

John will be greatly missed and he was deeply loved by us all. He had the best laugh and he always called me "Little Bit". I will hold all memories of him close to my heart forever. Uncle John, may you rest in peace.

To the Beaven Family,
John will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Dad and he were classmates and friends for 60 years and neighbors for 40 years. That doesn't happen everyday. We will always remember John as a loyal friend and a great neighbor who was always willing to offer his help or friendship whenever he could. We'll miss his laugh and good heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
