Not sure what to say?

Joanne and family, Sorry this has taken me so long to send this, but I´ve been sick. We are so sorry about John. He was a wonderful man and a friend to everyone as are you. I know a good man when I see one because I have one of the good ones too. If you need anything please don´t hesitate to let us know. John was a good man and he is at home now with our God. Love you lady

Tennyson says it simply and beautifully; "tho´ much is taken, much remains." Prayers and hugs as you walk thru the valley of shadows. May God hold you close to His heart during this difficult time. "Love´s token, circle unbroken"

My sincerest condolences to the Denton family. John was such a kind man. As a kid, I remember seeing him at Air Park and Dellwood and just being in awe that a pba winner was helping us with our game. Years later, he saw my son and I bowling and came over to say hello. Ever the teacher, he worked with my son on his game. He was such a positive influence on us both and will be dearly missed.

Joanne, So sorry for your loss. I´m glad I crossed paths with John a number of years ago. He helped me with my bowling, or at least tried to. I always did better when he stood back watching. If I threw the ball and didn´t do what he had instructed, he just stared at me, then asked me why I did what I did. Then he would start laughing. My husband and I loved sitting with you and John at the last Midland HOF induction luncheon. So many good stories and so much laughter! Praying for comfort,...

Joanne & Carolyn - Bless your hearts. I can´t remember a time bowling in Midland without John being a presence there. And how he made Midland proud on the bowling tour! I love you guys and will be praying for your broken hearts as your grieve for your husband and dad. Brenda (Massey) Smith
