I had the pleasure of meeting John when he became one of our patient's with Memorial Home Health. He always managed a smile, even when I was certain he didn't feel that way at all. My sympathies to Joyce, who demonstrated such an amazing tiredless and selfless attitude in an effort to care for John. And to Lisa, always sharing her unconditional love, showing her little angel just how special her grandpa was. May peace find you and stay in your hearts. Thinking of you, Love, Dawne Eldridge RN

This is George & Doris Hoepfner's youngest daughter, Mary. I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. Some of my most cherished memories were of going to John Sr's cabin when I was young, and "Little Johnny" as we referred to him was always so much fun to be around. I saw his band several times, and loved his music. He was one of a kind. Please extend my sympathies to all of the family.

Some of the best memories I've had, was to dance with his dad, while he and his band didn't miss a beat. "Uncle Johns Band" always made you smile!
With prayers for all the family!
