John was a beloved, kind and generous man. He volunteered for us for over 17 years. His outstanding dedication and commitment were contributing factors in the success of many community programs. You were an exceptional volunteer- and an even better friend. We are forever thankful that we had the honor of knowing you. You will be so very missed.
