John and his father were close friends of my grandparents, Richard and Anna Blankenhorn, and john was a close friend of John Blankenhorn and his wife Mary. Both of the men were veterans of WW2 and the Pacific Theater. I went to high school with John's wife Hazel, and Hazel was once a student in a continuing education class I taught.

Our deepest sympathy to all of the family(especially to Lisa, who I taught at the AVC many years ago).
We are sure that John will be missed by all who knew him, as he was a caring and wonderful person!
We are so very sorry that we won't be able to come to John's funeral and be there to support you in person.
May the prayers and support from family and friends bring you comfort and may God hold you close, just as He holds John in His loving hand!

To my dearest Uncle Johnny,
One thing I know for certain....the world was a better place because you were in it. You made such a difference in so many lives. I really loved coming to spend weeks at a time with you and Aunt Hazel and your dear children, my cousins. You really cared for your family, the farm, the animals... all my favorite things back then. I was awestruck to visit the cheese factory and I have yet to taste any cheese curds that come close to the squeaky samples you gave...
