Bethie,Gerri AND ALL THE GAUGHANS,
Ours hearts are, of course, very sad for all of you but how lucky we have been to have known your wonderful father and husband over the many years. There is always that someone special that comes into your life that truly touches your heart and John Gaughan was that someone.
Love,

Gaughans,

I would like to extend my condolences to the family of this wonderful man. I have not seen Mr. Gaughan many years, but i have numerous childhood memories of a super kind man (I see him in a convertible with a smile on his face and a tan) renowned for his kindness and also the kindness of his wonderful children, who made many a special day for me at Fairway Swim Pool as a child.

What better compliment than good children.

God Bless All of You!

Dear Gaughan Family,

I echo the sentiments written by DeeDee Machalek. Mr. Gaughan was the ideal patriarch to a family admired by all. My parents completely understood when I would slip away during Thanksgiving Day to watch part of the annual Turkey Bowl. I know this is an incredibly difficult time for all of you. You are in my thoughts , prayers and memories always.

Dear Jerry,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this most difficult time.
Fondly,
Theresa (Peterson) Gartner

Gaughan Family -
I am sorry to hear of John's passing. May the God of all comfort be with you in this most difficult time.

John and Gerry may have had 10 children, but their house was a gathering place for all the neighborhood children. I have very fond memories of plays in their backyard, the haunted house (in their basement), churing ice cream on hot summer days, and playing in the on going Turkey Bowl with John as the quarterback. The Gaughan house was full of fun and good cheer. My sincerest sympathy to the loss of your husband and father. Hugs to everyone, Helen Marie

Dear Gaughan Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear about John's death. John was a giant of a man, with a ready smile and a hearty laugh. He was a loyal friend and a man of unshakable faith. John was a wonderful father and husband and we all greatly admired and respected him. We will always have fond memories of all of the good times that we shared with your familiy; growing up together during the summers at the "cabin" in Colorado. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very...
