Mary Jane and the Schrank family,
There is not enough room in this little box to express what affect John's passing has had on me. John was more then a friend as he trusted and had faith in me, we had each others back without a doubt. These traits are only reserved for the few. He was my best friend.

We heard about John's passing, but were unable to attend. We are both at a loss for words. He was, as others have said, a wonderful and sincere person, who remembered every customer and always had a kind word.
The thoughts and prayers of our family go out to you, especially with John's passing so close to that of Mike.
May God bless you and yours. John will be missed, but he will never be forgotten by those who knew him.

Knew John as a gentleman and knife collector. He was always generous with his vast knowledge of antique knives.

I was truly shocked to hear about John's passing. I have delt with John (and Mike) for nearly 30 years, and always came back for purchases or trades because of their integrity and fairness. John was a gentleman, and I will miss him.

John will be missed by many - he was about the friendliest and most sincere person, I have had the pleasure to know. I think he knew more people, than anyone else you will ever meet. He loved to shop the flea markets and antique shows, arriving early in the morning, well before the sun rise ......... Adios 'big john' , you will be missed ...............

Janie,
we never had the pleasure of meeting but John and my beloved husband Jerry Pitz were friends for years. I am so saddened by this news and untimely passing of John. I believe that they are both in heaven talking abt the things they loved here on earth. We will be with them again. This I believe.

My Dear Sister Jane-
I know words cannot describe the shock and heartache you are feeling. We know the love you and John shared was deep and lasting. They say that true love is found only once in a lifetime. We all know that yours was that once in a lifetime love.

I am shocked to hear of John's passing. He was the ultimate gentleman both at the gun store and on the skeet range. He will be missed.

I met both John and Mike as a customer over 20 years ago. They soon became my friends and I truly treasure their memories. Mike was more gregarious, John more soft-spoken and thoughtful, but both were always eager to share their knowledge and help out. I recently asked John for help in locating a fairly rare part and he went through his papers until he found the card of one of the only men in the country who had what I needed, so I could contact the gentleman.
I will miss John, and I know you already miss him deeply. My most sincere condolences to the entire family.

To John's family and my sister Jane,
My heart goes out to you all, no words can fill the void in your lives, yet try not to dwell on things of the last few days.
Know that even as your hearts ache there is a purpose to every event in all of our lives. A purpose that we as humans can not understand and trying to will only prolong our grief.
Know that God the Father, Abba, has plans for all of us including John.
Keep John's memory close, those things that only John would do, the way he would walk or the certain way he did things.
