Dear family of John, We were so sorry to hear of John´s passing. How wonderful to be assured that through his faith he is now face to face with his Savior. John was a wonderful man and we considered him a friend as we all volunteered together at Mission India Super Thrift store. He was great with customers and a blessing to all who worked with him. Brother and Sister in Christ, Rick and Vicki Sikkema
