Dear Family
I had the honor of knowing and loving John this past year. John was the most selfless person I have ever met. He had such love and true compassion for everyone. He prayed for us all daily. It is reassuring to know I have a guardian Angel in heaven. The world has truly lost a wonderful man and an inspiration to us all.

From the moment I met you John, your presence was inspiring. I respected you as a man full of warmth and love. You’re caring; prayers and service made an impact in my life, and I’m sure of many others. I feel you looking down on us, still smiling and caring.

I’ll miss you John.

Dear Family, I only met John a year ago, But he has left such a legacy in my life, and the life of others I know he helped!! His kindness and thoughtfulways has given me a new way of looking at life, and as John always reminded me , if we are painstaking, He made the promises come true for me!!! My heart goes out to you and yours, for I know how much he will be missed! But I know he is an Angel that will always shine for all!!!!!!

Dear Linda and family

Just learned of John's passing via Patriot on internet today and regret that previous committment with guests in State College, where I now live, prevent my attending his memorial service. I'll always remember him for his warmth and friendship as our paths crossed in so many places in Hershey and his exemplifying the Rotary motto of Service Above Self in helping to make Hershey a better place to live.
