I must apologize I must have been away when John passed away and just found out about it tonight at dinner I would have been at the funeral without a doubt I had a wonderful relationship with him and loved the mailings we provided to each other over many years In Hebrew there is a word that describes a man who is honest trustworthy and respected by all Its a "mensch" John was just that !!

Barbara, and family. I am so sad to learn of John's death. I worked for him at Prescott, Ball and Turben from 1980 to 1988. He was such a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. Carolyn Moseley

Dear Lauferschweiler Family-

So sad to read about the passing of John. He was a wonderful friend to my parents, Larry and Lorma Lange, of Piqua. I have a photo next to my computer of John w/Dad, Dan Valentine and another gentleman at the 19th Hole at Crooked Tree (not sure where that's located); however, I'm certain that Dad's greeting John now w/a celebratory drink.....what a beautiful time of year to enter Heaven as on Easter weekend. Thoughts and prayers are w/you and your wonderful family. As always-Sharon (Lange) Semanie
