I was in the same class with John at Reitz and have been close friends for the past 9 years. We visited them in Prescott Valley and knew they had been looking forward to the new move.
He will be sorely missed by us and our sympathies are with all the family.

My sympathy to all of John's family. We went to church and high school together and I remember him fondly. Ken and I enjoyed a visit with him and Sue in Florida a few years ago.

I worked with John for a number of years and we had numerous talks about his family before his retirement. I still think about him when I pass his former house by USI. My deepest sympathy.
