Not sure what to say?

How nice to remember John as a kind gentle man, who with Barb made this young paperboy feel welcomed into their home on the westside over 60 years ago. Rest in peace kind man.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your Dad/Grandfather today and always. Wish we could have been there to console you.

Sending love and prayers to you all ❤
