Not sure what to say?

My Dad is truly missed. He was an is an inspiration for all us who knew and were Loved by him. He was a generous, kind, and loving man. He loved people and was a natural leader. A man of God, a friend, a brother, a son, a husband, a companion, an Uncle, a Father, and a Grandfather. We Love you Dad.

Fr. John will always be remembered as a spiritual leader to our small church family at St. Benedict's Episcopal Church in New Freedom, PA. He was caring as to the memberships' journey toward our faith. He cared for me personally (Debbie) when trying to furnish the church with Advent decorations I fell and broke my wrist. He stayed and prayed with me while the OSS doctors help to make my repairs. My family and myself will NEVER forget his caring. We will continue to miss him.

To Fr. John's family our hearts are with you for fond memories.He is still to be an inspiration to us for his belief in the Lord Jesus and ability to forward this on to us.Loving thoughts only

John helped Gary and me through a very rough time in our lives, we will always be grateful to him and will always remember him with great love.

My Dad is dearly missed by our family. His memory lives in our hearts. He was such a good Father and role model. I will be the same with my daughter. Amelia will always know of her Grandpappy.

John was a man of God

With deepest sympathy from Loretta Mellinger and ST. John friends.

Our thoughts and prayer's are with Jonathan and Hilary during this difficult time. May your father's memories last a lifetime.

John, we had a wonderful, precious, gift from God that we never took for granted. You have taken one of the best parts of my life with you..
