We send our deepest sympathy on the loss of an incredible man in John. Thank you for sharing his life with the Moose Fraternity all these years. His wisdom, generous heart and spirit of service blessed so many, including the children at Mooseheart and seniors at Moosehaven. You remain in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

What a tragic loss! John was my "convention buddy" for many years. He, Brenda & I were the "3B's" (Barney, Beverly and Bernice) and shared SO many laughs and beverages. He was truly a special friend even though we have only kept in touch by phone and by cards the past few years. My condolences to his son, family and all of the special friends he spoke so fondly of at the VFW. The Moose has lost a treasure and I know they will rally to say goodbye to him in numbers. He worked so hard for them through the years. Godspeed Barney!!
