Mary & Family: A gentle soul has left this planet and will be joined above by all those who went before him. You have a lot of memories to reflect on after being married 54 years. God bless and may John have a safe journey home.

Mary, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm truly sorry to have heard the news. John was a true gentleman. A gentle soul who was a friend to all.

Safe home John, safe home!
