We have so many good memories of John and Mildred and our years with the Rural Electric program. We regret that we are not able to attend the service for John. Please know that the family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Uncle John was a very loving and caring person. I only knew him a short while but will always cherish his laughter and smile. I will miss him!

Thoughts and prayers to the family at this time. John was a good man in every way, I have fond memories of pheasant hunting with him over the years. He may have left us, but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace...
