Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to Magaret and John's family. John was a friend and mentor to me. I learned much from John when he gave up an early retirement in Florida to come back to Michigan and help a struggling Williams & Works. His help turned things around for the company and helped a lot of people. I regret not being able to be back in Grand Rapids to pay my respects to a talented man of hgh integity.

Margaret, We will both remember our triips together and golfing experiences, and our trip to Michigan to visit you both. What fun we've had together. Our very best to you. Love ya, Nancy

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Margaret, Ron, Denny and families. John was a beloved family member and brought so much to our home, family, his church and the community. We know that God will keep him safe in his arms until we are all again together and can rejoice in a new day with the Lord.

With all our love, Bob and Marilyn, Steve and Linda, Ann and Dave, Nita (and Brian) and families

I have the fondest memories of family get togethers with Uncle Johnny and Aunt Margaret! We love you so!

Your niece, Ann (Runkel) Krotz

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. We have wonderful memories of the Rook group, Colorado, Silver Lake and Griggs Street Church. May God comfort you at this time.
