John wore the best smile every time I saw him. Despite his pain, he persevered and always asked about our health too. The last time I saw him, I had helped him into their car. I appreciate that memory. My husband John and I will always appreciate the friendship and love that John and Sharon shared with us. I cherish our wedding and reception photos and memories we shared together. Rest in peace and joy.

John was a wonderful person who had a great sense of humor and loved to have fun. We played many rounds of golf together where he was constantly tinkering with his putting stroke. What I'll remember most of John was...he was kind and caring soul. He loved his family. He was a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and the Salak family.
