Dear Sue and Family, We loved having your family as our good friends. We have missed you all since we moved to New Mexico. We send our sympathies to you all, and pray for God's blessings on your family. With love, Chuck and Ruth Staffeldt, Las Cruces, NM

Sue & Family, Solemn Greetings from Fort Polk, Louisiana. I was deeply saddened to read of John's passing on the FIREHOUSE.COM webpage. I so looked forward to seeing him again at the upcoming CFD Muster and Firefighter's Mass next month. He always had time for everyone in the Fire Service and he was passionate about HazMat/WMD from the beginning. Do keep alive his positive spirit, as he would have wanted us to remember him in that manner. I am sure that our Eternal Chief and St. Florian...

Sue and Mike, for all the time we have known John, he is a giant of a man and a good friend. There is not enough room to express all of our memories but the IFCA Conference in St. Louis (hotel lobby) will be one of the top ones. He will be remembered in our thoughts and you all are always in our prayers. We are sorry we could not make the wake to deliver our condolences personally but you are deep in our hearts.

We are so sorry for your loss. Come and visit with us anytime, you are always welcome. What a wonderful man he was. He will be so missed. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family.

Dear Eversole Family,
We met John many times at Mike Bovyn's house. He was such a nice man, very sociable and such a good friend to Mike's family. I'm sure he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Our deepest sympathy to you all.

Dear Sue & Mike, I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. John & I worked together for a lot of years at 95's old house. He was always a very hard worker, intutive, and always looking to improve the fire service. Please know that Dolly & I have you and Mike and John in our prayers.

Sue & Mike John will be missed by many. Please know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

John Eversole treated our family like it was his own. He was an original cast member of "Christmas at Thanksgiving" at the Mariotti house when Kris, KD and Kim were small. His wit and charm were omnipresent, regardless of the event. The stories that he ended with raised eyebrows and a little whistle left many listeners wishing for more, though they couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. He was always sure to tell us, whenever he saw us, that we "were doing a good job".

PS: John,...
