Not sure what to say?

To the McKenna family,

My mom just called to tell me of John's passing. I know you all will miss him very much. He was a great man and a wonderful neighbor. I have wonderful memories of my years on Herning Ave. My prayers and love go out to all of you.

Mary,
So many fond memories of the days of Warren softball when our girls were little and your dad and Len's parents would be the loudest cheerleaders. Now our parents watch from the "good seats". May he rest in his eternal reward.
Sincerely,
Len and Chris

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I will always remember the fun I had at the family gatherings that I attended.

He will be missed by all that knew him.

when our father died I was the "Baby" of the family. John became one of the most important persons in my life. He protected me when I needed protection, advised me when I needed advise, encouraged me when I needed encouragement, loved me throughout my life and provided things I needed when no one else was able too. I loved him dearly. For my nieces and nephews; be proud that he was your father and remember his good things of which there were many!!

I read recently that what one does for themselves dies with them, but what one does for others lives on.

That being the case Uncle John will live forever....

I suppose others will say this more eloquently; but as the "Baby" when our father died there was no one more important in my life. John protected me when I needed protection, encouraged me when I needed encouragement, advised me when I needed advise and loved me as a brother when I needed that. When we had no money for high school he made sure we did. I will never forget him.

Karen and family,
