Dear Doris and Family,
I can only express our deepest sympathy for all of you.
Ellie and I have been greatly blessed to have had the opportunity of working with John over the years. Our relationship with John goes back to 1981 while selling heating equipment. Our success in Kansas City is due to his involvement with us. We have missed his humor along with his professionalism since his retirement. But even more, we too will miss a friend.
May God grant all of you a sense of peace during these trying times.

Scott and I send our love and prayers to you and your family.
