Pleasant memories of John and his family while working in Earlville at the school district. Always enjoyed conversations with him. Very down to earth, kind, and supportive and a well respected carpenter. Will be missed, My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I considered John to be one of my closest friends from the area of my second home. He was already to help when I needed anything. He kept a watchful eye on our house and I appreciated that greatly. I enjoyed the knowledge and stories he shared. Heaven gained a very good man that will be missed by many that knew him.

To the Family, I only met John a few times, but reading all the superlatives about John, I felt like I was reading about John's brother, my good friend, Al. I was privileged to have taught at Serena HS with Al, and to have watched him as a coach through his days at Harding, until he retired from coaching. There is certainly a place in heaven for John if he was, indeed like Al., who is smiling down, ready to tell one of his jokes. I now live in the Kansas City area, so I regret...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
