Memories and Condolences
for JOHN COMPO
September 17, 2017
Susie and family:
I may be one of the few people who remember John as a baby in a high chair at the Compos' lst cottage at Clear Lake. Later, when Jane and I became best friends, Johnny was always tagging along when we roamed around the Ft. Street-Washington St. neighborhood. I have many happy memories of times at Clear Lake with all the Compo kids and wonder how the parents put up with all the extraneous friends who showed up there. So sad to know that most of the famiily I spent so much time with are gone now. Wishing you all the best as you grieve for your spouse, dad, and grandpa.

Sue, so sorry to hear of your husband's death. It was fun reading the obituary. He had to have been a fun person. The memories you shared with John will continue to bring joy to your life in the future!

So many memories Susie. What a loss for you all. My favorite old picture is of all of us canoeing the Au Sable in Michigan and Johnny is brushing his teeth, while we drifted down the river, using the river water, or was it a Bud? my deepest sympathy. Angie

Sue, I have never felt the loss of a spouse, but only my father, & both of my in-laws, but do know it will leave a very large hole in your life now. I know that you had many good years together and a ton of great memories. I continued to pray for you both daily, and still will keep you and your family in them. I know that God never promised that it would be easy, but He does promise to always be with us, no matter what we go thru.
If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.
May God Bless and keep you in the future.
Take care,
Roger
