Marsha and Family,
Deepest symphony on the loss of a true friend to everyone. John always had a smile and pat on the back or handshake for everyone. He will be truly missed. Hold on tight to all the memories that you have.
Love Marsha,

Dewey and Nancy Scheel

What a joyful day that will be. Love to you from your ole pal, Nancy Leatherby

Our deepest sympathy for the family in your loss of John. Those of us who had the chance to know him were truly blessed. He had special sparkle in his eyes that always made people feel happy as he smiled at them. His willingness to help so many in emergency times with the best quality suits was at the very least admirable. We had four generations of his generous service in his store. His legacy will live on not only in his loving family & friends but also in many closets! Our loss is...

We are so sorry for your loss. May God be with all of you during this sad time.
