So sorry to hear of John's death. We were members of The Congregational Church in LaGrange for 20 years while John was pastor and Diane was Financial Secretary for the church for 10 years, working with John. John was the best minister we have had in our 55 years of marriage. Know he and Evelyn are together again.

So sorry to hear this; losing both of them in a year is very difficult. I feel privileged to have served with John at First Congregational, LaGrange. He was a kind and wise man. Keeping all family in my thoughts and prayers.
