Charlotte, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May good memories bring you comfort. God's Peace to you and your family.

Diane so sorry for your loss. Johnny was the person who taught George how to lay block many many years ago. He was a good man. You and your family are in our prayers. If you need anything, please call us.

Diane, I am so sorry for you loss. John was such a nice person to everyone. Be assured that you are in my prayers. You now have a special angel in heaven to watch over you.

My heart goes out to all of you. He was a wonderful man. I knew him since I was a kid. I was then blessed to work with him, play some tennis and hear some stories. He even gave me some professional advise. RIP and keep laughing.

Dear Diane and family,
Was so sorry to hear about Johnny. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Peace and Love,
Audrey and Peter

May God give you strength and guidance in your time of the loss of your loved one. Keep Faith! G.P.
