John was such a wonderful man, and it's hard to believe that eight years have passed since he went to heaven. We are thinking of you, Alice, and the rest of the family. I'm sure you still miss John terribly, but it was such a great blessing to have him in your lives for so many years. Take care, Alice. We hope all is well with you. Hope to see you soon. Diane & Gayle

Dear Alice and family:
We were so sad to hear of John's passing. He was such a wonderful man, and we will miss seeing John's smiling face at church each Sunday morning. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Gayle & Diane Robinson, Scottsdale, AZ

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of John. His work family as well. I have worked with Powers Steel since the early 70's and that is how I started working with my current employer in the early 80's, Gort Metals Corp. After John III came to work with Powers we always refered to him as " the old Man". Lovingly and with the utmost respect. Today we still have a good working relationship with Powers Steel and Wire.
Rest In Peace, you have earned it. Say Hi to our "Old Man" dad Gort and know that he watches over us ever day. Not always pleased but always with love as you will your own family.

John was a hard working person who shared the fruits of is labor with his family, church and several charities in the area. He was a no nonsense person, a true competor, and he will be missed by many in Phoenix. John made the absolute best apple pie you will ever taste.
