Not sure what to say?

Knew John when he lived in Newton and worked together at Elastimold ..We often talked about Vietnam but he never let on to being heroic..He was one heck of a good guy.. R.I.P old buddy

To the Nielsen family: Your father was a
great person. I met John when he became a Mason and when he was Worshipful Master my son joined the Lodge. John also served as Worthy Patron at Delaware Chapter #50 Order of the Eastern Star. John was a very compassionate person. He will be missed. Ruth Ann Hoyt

Rest in Peace my friend sad day

I served with John in the military. He was a good soldier and always helping others. He will be sadly missed.

Dear Becky, Laurie & Lisa. Kindly accept my deepest condolences with the passing of your Father. I remember all 3 of you girls so well. Your Father was a true honorable man proudly serving the military and should be forever saluted for his mighty dedication. Please take comfort knowing others feel your loss as well.
Blessing to each of you & your families.

Sir,
I did not know you personally, however I would very much like to "Thank You" for your dedicated and honorable Military Service to OUR country.
At a later date we will meet in that "SPECIAL PLACE" which GOD reserves for all of those who have served their country in uniform.
May all of GOD'S blessings fall upon your dear family!
