Not sure what to say?

I always remember John and Adella fondly. My parents would go to their house in L.A. on a Sunday to visit, and it was always fun for us kids. I have fond memories of Ruth and John Jr. too. Just the best family!

John was the best! Always a follower of the traditional Lutheran "path" --He even appreciated my humble playing of the great hymns of the church!

John Upton was my uncle. His kindness to everyone will be remembered forever. As a small child, I remembered him as the one taking all the family photos and making everyone smile. His own smile and his laughter is forever in my memory. Uncle John touched every heart he came in contact with and he will truly be remembered with loving thoughts.

Loving Dad, you will be greatly missed. Your son.
