Read MoreI met John as a member of the State Street Church choir. What a life! What great stories. I enjoyed standing next to him for those many years and loved to listen to him belt out those great old British hymns with gusto. He is missed.

I knew John as a choir member of the State Street Church. He was always so cheerful that I had no inkling how sick he was or that he was in pain. I wish I had come to know him sooner.

My husband john was very generous and ready to help at any time.He was so proud of the way we met at the dance studio that he would mention it to anyone who would listen. He loved his daughters and grandchildren.He was a brave man who suffered a great deal of pain but would never complain. Before he passed I told him he would go to God where there was no pain and constant sunshine which he greatly enjoyed.John will be missed by me and many others. Love always,alice

Sorry to heart of John's passing. John was a great guy and a real pleasure to work with. We very much appreciated his 10 years of service at Wright Pierce. He was a a take charge person with a great attitude. He had a very direct and pleasant approach and everyone loved working with John. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
