Kris, Blair & Patrick - Our hearts go out to you. As a long-time co-worker of John I got to know him as a special and fun-loving person. If you needed a laugh you could always turn to John. We need more people like him. He will be missed and may he rest in peace.

I pray and ask God to provide the comfort and healing today and in the days ahead. Blessed to have known him, laughed with him (often) while enjoying what we loved to do. Rock on sir, RIP.

My Sincere Condolences to the Drewke Clan. John was one of a kind. As my Road Manager in the early 80s. His dry humor and Vanilla pipe tobacco was the stuff of legend. Rest well Drewq.

Extending heartfelt condolences to family and friends for the loss of John. Losing a loved one to death is very painful especially a spouse. There is no one closer. May the support of family and friends comfort and strengthen you during the difficult days ahead.

Kris & family: John was one-of-a-kind and I believe that was one of his goals. Of course our loss cannot compare to yours but for us it is still profound. He was a great friend, co-worker, and boss. He was much loved. May he rest in pain-free peace.
Ted & Nancy.
