Not sure what to say?

John continues to be missed but his wife Alice recently passed and like John was a hard worker and great family mom.

John has been missed since his death. His friends at ACC and the neighborhood miss him and his sometime true comments.

John was such a wonderful man, and it's hard to believe that eight years have passed since he went to heaven. We are thinking of you, Alice, and the rest of the family. I'm sure you still miss John terribly, but it was such a great blessing to have him in your lives for so many years. Take care, Alice. We hope all is well with you. Hope to see you soon. Diane & Gayle

may the god of all comfort be with you during this time of grief and persevere through hope and prayer- romans 12:12

My sympathy to the Power's family. I grew up accross the street from the Power's family on lewis avenue in the mid 50's.

Dear Alice and family:
We were so sad to hear of John's passing. He was such a wonderful man, and we will miss seeing John's smiling face at church each Sunday morning. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Gayle & Diane Robinson, Scottsdale, AZ

I was very sorry to hear about John's passing. My prayers are with you Alice, and the family too. He truly was the best!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of John. His work family as well. I have worked with Powers Steel since the early 70's and that is how I started working with my current employer in the early 80's, Gort Metals Corp. After John III came to work with Powers we always refered to him as " the old Man". Lovingly and with the utmost respect. Today we still have a good working relationship with Powers Steel and Wire.
Rest In Peace, you have earned it. Say Hi to our "Old Man" dad...

John was a hard working person who shared the fruits of is labor with his family, church and several charities in the area. He was a no nonsense person, a true competor, and he will be missed by many in Phoenix. John made the absolute best apple pie you will ever taste.
