Dear Martha, Teresa, and Janet, it is with great sadness, I write to you upon the loss of John! To me, he will always be Mr.Oppitz! What a great man he was! A hard worker, a loving husband, a wonderful father, and I'm sure an awesome grandfather! Growing up next door to the Oppitz family, I have fond memories! John, and Martha were another set of parents to myself, and my brothers! Mr. Oppitz set a great example, of how to be a great man! What a wonderful life he had, and what a privilege to have known him! God bless his soul, and eternal be his memory!
