Not sure what to say?

Nancy, I just today saw this and immediately wanted to reach out to you. I pray you are holding up well. I am very sorry. Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can do anything for you. ~Eddie

John was a special soul, with quiet, off the wall humor, quiet, that is, until the punch line, then hold onto your hats! He noticed everything, took the measure quickly, then waited to see what might be needed. He loved talking about every topic, and enjoyed learning new views. A wonderful yin to Nancy's yang. There were lucky to have found each other in the great sea of humanity. His heart will always be with us, which makes the rest of us quite lucky, as well. xoxox Sally

John had a good heart at the core - even though he liked to provoke me with politics! - but always ready with offers of help, and genuine sympathy and kindness. A true man.

Nancy, Younger and I are so saddened by your loss. May you continue to be blessed by wonderful memories of your time together. Love and hugs always, Frances and Younger

Nancy my thoughts and prayers are with you and family

Nancy, I'm sorry to hear the news about John. It was an honor to spend even a little time with him. A little rough around the edges, but absolutely amazing stories and a kind heart buried in there. I am blessed to have met John. Be Well- Andrew Durham

Some of our fondest, and funniest memories of our time on Garland Avenue involved John. The first day we met him, he came into our backyard (right next to his) and introduced himself...and asked us if we had change for a 20. He was headed to church and said "I didn't want to put a 20 in the plate." Classic John! Rest in peace, my friend.

I worked a welding job with John many years ago and he was a very good welder. From one Steeler fan to another, GO STEELERS ! Mike Witt

Nancy- Merideth and I are so very sorry for your loss. We pray you faith helps carry you through this most difficult time. Love always.
