Our deepest condolences to the Motto family.

Grandpa John was a man filled with stories (for us and all that he came across), smiles, songs, a fun sense of humor, card games... And a few too many manhattens in his lifetime.

John, thank you for being such a great father, father-in-law and grandfather. You had strength and wisdom behind an easy smile and a good story. Your generosity and kindness will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear about John's passing. We not only did some great business together, but became buddies in the process. R.I.P. my friend

Terri, The singing by the fireside, the popcorn out of the box, the cabins that were primitive to say the least, but comfortable , the Lake that was cool and refreshing and of course the dinner bell that everyone responded to like cattle.

Very fond memories. God Bless you and your family! Pam and Ron

David, Heaven has gained another wonderful Angel and you are in my prayers:-)
