To Linda (Lep) and the Lepping Family,
My brother and I have very warm memories of your father. For him as a coach and for me a very, shall I say "avid" fan at our basketball games. A warm friendly man with beautiful sparkling eyes and an encouraging spirit.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. Stay encouraged in His word and take care of each other.

Dear Verna,
I was John's "roomie" in Saranac Lake several times and looked forward to being with him as much as playing golf. I will never forget the cork in the wine bottle. He was truly a fun person to be around. I admired his athletic ability and his manner of poking fun at almost anything and making people laugh. I will surely miss him and our many conversations about fishing, playing baseball and football. I am presently in Florida and sorry I cannot attend the service.

Dear Verna and family:
I deeply regret the passing of John. He was a good friend of mine at Peddie and I always enjoyed his stories, jokes and presence. He was fun being around and he always talked about his family with pride. John was a Rutgers man all the way.
Ril and I always looked forward to the Peddie Dinner/dance ,so we could interact with you and John.
All are love and prayers
