Marcia we are so sorry to hear of John's passing.
We have fond memories of the time we spent with both of you. He was a great surgeon and I loved being in cases with him. Even more important he was a wonderful person that gave so much to everyone he knew. Our prayers are with you and your family. Karen and Rick Kreiman, Garnavillo, Iowa.

"To Marcia and family, I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss." Dr. Gaskill was my surgeon in 1971 and whom I have the utmost respect for his care. He was one of Alton's finest surgeons and very particular how his patients were cared for after surgery. He will be missed.

I am sorry regarding the loss of your loved one. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family, during these difficult times. May he, continue to give support and loving kindness to all. 1Cor 1:3,4.
