We will always remember John's friendly smile, his humble spirit, and all the words of encouragement he had for all of us. We are very sad that he has left us, but we are happy because we know that he has joined, his wife, Catherine, in heaven. May God strengthen his family and friends during this time of grief.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
