Not sure what to say?

I will miss John! John was a kind man. I will miss hearing my Dad talk about how much John enjoyed his BBQ Ribs. My Dad had a "rule" that whenever he BBQ'd, John would be sure to get a slap hot off the grill. I will miss these times, and John too.

GOD Bless his wife, daughter, sons (Jay, and Sean). He will be truly missed.

Dear Cathy and Family,

We were so sorry to hear about John's illness and passing. When we saw him in June he was so full of Life. Even though my husband knew for only that day he felt akin to John right away. He felt like family with John. I myself will always remember that summer day and his smiling face and loving, funny, full of life self. He was a blessed man and now is with God our Father, Uncle Stan& Aunt Eva as well as Grandmp and Grandma and all your...

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. John was a very good man and will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Cathy and Family-

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. John was a great guy and always seem to bring a smile to everyone face. He was a dedicated husband, father and grandpa and truley was a "family man". John always told stories of the trouble that Brad and the boys would get into growing up and it would make everyone laugh. He will never be forgotten. Your family is in our thoughts, heart, and prayers. Again we are so sorry.

So please if there is anything we can do let us know. All Our Love,

Cathy, I met John at the Federal building in Sept. of 1969. We thought we were going to Detroit for our physical exam for entrance to the military. We spent the night in Detroit and then were sworn in the US Army and off to Fort Knox. We had a ball in those days and I knew John first as a patriot and good soldier. Over the years I also got to see him as a great husband, father and worker. It has been Pat (Murphy) and I's joy to know you both and our prayers and love go up and out to you today.
