Not sure what to say?

Dang, I still miss you bud; almost like it was yesterday? You are gone, but never forgotten; the dock fun; your support and frequent visits for my too long stay at Emmanuel Rehab in 1986! You were day brightener & encourager, through some really dark days as this, then 33 year old Mommy of a 4 MO old, learned to walk & function again after catastrophic CVA! I send greetings and thanks to heaven for your steadfast friendship, truly my brother from another Mother! And it sure helped DH Dick...

Oh man, my brother from another Mother; still think of you so very often! Cannot drive by Butteville Rd without dozens of fun times, celebrating beautiful Summer days on the patio and/or dock flooding my mind! The annual tradition of the last water ski! Watching you charging down those difficult (at least to me) dock stairs with a full 5 gallon gas can as if it were nothing, to fill up whichever water toy, was that days adventure! The most gracious host of the entire river, I swear! Bless...

Dear Debbie, Still missing him so much; his infectious laugh, last water ski of the season. The oh so many fond memories over the course of 35+ years of friendship/ His near daily visits at Emmanuel Rehabilitation in 1976 to offer Dick & I encouragement and support! He was a friend for the ages, and I dare say, nothing made him prouder in life, then raising and nurturing an amazing daughter destined to be DR Debbie! He is forever missed; and forever loved by both of us! Hugs, Love and...

Dear John, The only consolation in the sadness of your passing; is the great legacy you have left behind in a wonderful loving daughter & two fine Grandchildren! Thank you for being a loving adopted "brother"; since the passing of my only biological one for these past 30+ years! You are forever missed; until we meet again on the other side; please rest in peace! Love, Hugs & prayers, Leora

I am sorry to hear of John's passing, he was always generous with his time and support. We worked together at Coldwell Banker and quickly became friends spending time on the river, throwing company parties and going to Blazer Games.

Your Friendship & support will sorely missed.

Swim in Gods Infinite Love..

Dear Marilyn and Family,
Scott and I were heartbroken to hear of John's passing. I enjoyed working with John at Coldwell Banker. He helped Scott and I with some difficult transactions. We were not aware of his teaching background but that is so like him always kind and willing help. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and always.

I was sorry to hear of John's passing from the Kelley family. He was an integral part of the Kelley gatherings at Annette's and "the Willamette House." So generous with his time, energy and friendship. His obituary made me wish I had known him better. I'm sorry for the family's loss.

John was so generous. He gave to others without a thought. He took me water skiing once and was so patient with my novice skills.

A good basketball player. Always a fine teammate and prompt with a sense of sportsmanship.

Smart guy and personable. I am so sorry about his passing. John was a really good guy.
