Read MoreIt was sad to learn of John's death. He was a good and gracious man. He sprayed fields for our family's Farms for years and always did a good job. Several times he piloted private flights for us. His comment was "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are no old, bold pilots!" I will always remember that. John did it the right. My condolences to the family. Dennis Biehl, Lexington.

I have missed you, Aunt Marge, Mike, Dan and families. So very, very sad to hear of Uncle John's passing! I loved it when you would park you RV in our driveway when you would come to see Grandma and Pop! Uncle John was a wonderful man and you guys were my best friends! Love him and all of you! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could've been there today! I didn't realize until it was too late, to come to the funeral home last night! At present, I don't have a car! Just know...
