Not sure what to say?

Thank you for your years of service! At Springfield South High, you were the "Batman" to my Dad's "Robin."

Thanks brother Johnny Rog. I couldn't express my feelings any better than that.
Dad was a special man & a great father. He touched many and was loved by many. He will be sadly missed by this grateful son, and by all who crossed his path. I love you Dad. Thanks for loving me.

Brother Tom, Jo, Linda & I (2010)

I want to express my gratitude to all who have taken time to express their personal feelings and rememberances about my father. I too, will miss his wit, his great advice, which I will admit did not take as much as I should have, and his love for those he touched. I had no idea it was to many. Thank you for sharing for all to realize his stamp on humankind.

To my dearest Grandpa, I am so very fortunate to have gotten to know you, even if it was primarily through letters and phone calls. I will surely cherish all your letters and cards. The memories I do have of you are so very dear to my heart. You are and will always be my wonderful and amazing Grandpa Wright! Love you always and forever!

Deepest sympathy at the loss of J.B. I have so many fond memories of music activities with him. He was a favorite teacher and a good friend to me. Rest in Peace dear teacher.

Uncle John was a great uncle, father, husband, brother to my mom and a super person. He was full of life and one always could count on. I will remember his humor -- and love for family. God bless Uncle John and yes "the shoes are too big"!
Jay Rush (youngest son of his sister Jeanne) and family

JB was a class act. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the family. The world is a better place for having known John and his family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you , Tom, and your family.
