Not sure what to say?

I love you daddy! And I miss you everyday.

Katie, we're sorry for your loss. JP dedicated his life to helping others, and a lot of people are better off because of his efforts.

JP -you will be missed - seems like our numbers are shrinking each year that passes - all we have is the old days to remember how it was when we were young - we'll see you again in the great beyond - blessings to your family.
John Brook

This poem is to honor JP:

"He was a very good friend to my
parents
And also a very good man
Because he took the time to go fishing
With my father a lot.
A good friend to my mother too.
His wife, Katie, a woman of faith
And every time I see something of beauty
I think of them together.
His memory never to be lost
Etched into the faces of loving children and grandchildren."

Dear Katie,
I'm sorry for your loss. My stepfather Ben and JP used to go fishing together. My mother Rebecca Ruschel asked me to sign JP's guest book. I will try to put a poem in the paper honoring Ben, JP, and my grandfather for all to be remembered in my poem...Shawn Ruschel

Enjoyed working with J.P. at the Sheriff's Office in our younger days. Sorry for you loss.

Dearest Katie, I was so sorry to hear of your loss of J.P. I remember him so well from many years of school together, and he was a terrific guy! I was happy to learn about his life, your marriage of 33 years, four children, and lots of grandchildren! And his contribution to the world in his roles as a police officer and probation work! I'll bet he impacted a lot of people's lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Warmly, Donna (Kirtley) Class in Boulder, Colorado
