Not sure what to say?

It is hard to believe that years have past. My memories of John (my brother-in-law) are still strong and he is dearly missed. He does continue on through his daughter, Julie(who is very much like his dad) and his son Mark who has a lot of John's likability. Family is most important and John personified that.

Dear Connie,
Our deep sympathy goes out to you and your family. We have so many fond memories of John: double-dating with him in high school and Rich playing football with him. I remember that you and Julie were with me the night I went into labor with our second and Rich was in Seattle helping John move you. Even though we haven't been in touch much, we will miss him.

Connie, We had such fun with you and John. You and your family will be in my prayers. Bernie Simpson

John was a great guy and a great brother-in-law. We are so glad that we had recently been able to spend time with him, Connie and their family and will cherish our memories of those happy times. Jim and I will be joining you on Saturday.

Dear Connie,
I'm so sorry to hear about John. I hope your many happy memories sustain you. Your hospitality (I miss your cooking!) and his jokes and your love for each other always guaranteed a happy visit at your place. I'll fondly remember his sense of humor and continue to marvel at his home remodeling wizardry. I'll see you Saturday.
Much love and my condolences,
Sidney

Connie, so sorry to hear about John. I always remember his welcoming me into your house in Salem and our bantering back & forth. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Hugs to you and see you soon, Love, Annette

To Connie and Family, All of his co-workers at Washington County Traffic Engineering are blessed in knowing John. He brought his expertise and humor everyday and made life at work more enjoyable. We are all sorry for your great loss.

I can't even start to express my sympathy to Connie, Julie and Mark. John was a great friend, teacher and mentor. I have known John since 1994 and he was always quick with a joke and a great laugh. He will be truly missed. Rest in Peace my friend, hope to see you again one day.
