John was a great guy. Even when my Aunt Pat passed away he always invited us to the cabin every year for a cookout. Remembering the fishing and rides on the pontoon boat. Pat Singer´s niece, Mona

A true union man. I enjoyed working with John. We had lots of laughs together especially after a union meeting.

May the Fruits of the Spirit continue to bless each of you
John And Patty hired me in 1991 to clean their mobil homes. Since Patty passed , i continued cleaning John's. After moving to alabama 4 yrs ago he'd call and i would go. After speaking with him back in March he said well i finally weigh 200 after always trying to be fit but loved to have a good meal. It was just the other day i told my daughter johns not answering his phone. And by the grace...

Have thought of you many times in the last year or so. Wished I would have picked up phone. Don't know if I ever told you what a great friend you were to me for many many years. Have tons of memories. May you rest now. You always had great funny stories to tell. I had quite a few of my own. Prayers for family and friends.
Love,
Shelley
