Stephen and Peter, Please accept my heartfelt sympathy extended to you, your mother and all your family with regard to the passing of your father. God blessed him with the capacity to live life robustly with passion in all its fullness. I am grateful for the privilege of knowing him and will miss him.

John is my uncle. My father, Gordon Fish, is Aunt Barbara's brother. Although we have not seen each other for may years, I have very fond memories. I stayed with John and Barbara the year Maggie was born. It was a time I will never forget. Uncle John was an exceptional man and will be deeply missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family.

John will always be remembered by me for his quick wit, sense of humor and subtle ways. He was a Knight of Columbus in all ways, especially the Fourth Degree. I salute him now and thank him for the precious times we had together. He will be missed and never forgotten. To the family, you have my heartfelt condolences. God bless you, John.

I had the pleasure of knowing John through the Knights of Columbus Council in Eureka. He was a dedicated member and participated as an officer in the Council. May he rest in peace.

John was my Uncle. His older brother Bill is my father and on behalf of all of our family I extend our sympathies to all of our dear cousins at this very sad time. Please know our prayers are with you.

I'm not sure if Stephen and Peter will remember their visit to our home in Wisconsin when they were small children (and Susan and Mary were alive)...or my Dad's visit to CA when our Grandmother Rasmussen passed away, but we have those photos and have always kept up with you through...
