Read MoreI was a student at East Washington grade school up through much of the 5th grade when our family moved to the suburbs of Pittsburgh. John was always kind enough to include me in East Washington H.S. reunions. In the 1990s I last saw John at a Botanical Society of Western PA field trip in the Washington area. We shared a number of common interests. My deepest condolences and prayers to the McCreight family.

John was one of my very best friends and will be missed greatly! It seems like just yesterday that he and I were skiing, caving and generally enjoying bachelor life.

When Mildred was my sister-in-law, she was closer to me than any of my sisters. John made her very happy and I really liked the guy. They both died too young. Sincere condolences.

I knew John from the Ohio Valley Brass Ensemble when we did caroling during the Christmas season. He always had a story to tell about his numerous adventures. I always felt he was a very kind person. He was missed the last few years we caroled and he wasn't able to be there. I will always remember the time he took us to carol for his friends at this little restaurant in Washington. Blessings to his family for strength and peace during difficult times. Try to think of his many stories and...
