John Douglas Hawkes

John was my first publisher. I worked with John for several years in publishing and marketing my book on public speaking. John saw potential in my manuscript and was a great editor, lpublisher, mentor, advisor, and friend. I am grateful for John and his effort to build a great publishing company.

Dear Kae and Family,
We were so sad to hear of your loss and know of the heart ache that comes when you lose someone so dear! At this time we are so thankful for the understanding of the Gospel which gives us peace, knowing we will be with our loved ones once again. We know he is in a better place, what comfort that brings. Ours prays are with you at this time. It makes us ponder on "Family", and the importance of having strong family ties that helps us get through this trial in life.

Dear Hawkes Family,
My name is Peggy (Neel) Perkins. I am the second daughter of Robert Neel. Your father and my father worked in the East Millcreek Stake Printing Dept. My father started a printing business in our garage called Family Press.
I have early memories of our fathers diligently working late into the night on many church publications. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time, but I can assure you that my father was there to greet his good friend on the other...
