Uncle Bob, Aunt Theresa, Shane, Rose n Corb - I'm so sorry to hear of your father's, grandfather's passing. May he rest in eternal peace! Thank you for your service to our country Mr. Semple! Semper Fi, Sir!

John was a wonderful man. Many memories to share with his great grandchildren: Allison, Michael and Alex Gates. Who can ever forget someone that loved ice-cream for lunch? Taught the kids to throw the wrapping paper at each other after opening presents. May he rest in peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

He was a terrific person. Our prayers are for you.
