Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss-what a guy! He loved to talk, when we stopped in his apartment to see if he needed anything, we always planned on being there awhile. Always appreciative! Hugs and prayers to all of you! Bonnie Le Mieux (caregiver on NOC shift)

You friend,

Sincere condolences to all our Spalding cousins from all the Koloski's

With his persuasive personality, he convinced Bob and the Board to adopt CF as their official...

Uncle John will always be remembered by our family for his kindness, generosity, and great sense of humor. We are thankful for his hosting of the wonderful family events at the K and S Game Farm and his wise assistance in various business matters. We talk about him and those events often.
