Uncle John was an amazing person. He is a great man. I am glad that I had him in my life. He was a blessing 30 years in the making for me. He helped and would give you everything to make sure thast you would. The phone conversations that we had always left me smiling and happy. He had such a good outlook on life and made me realize why my parents cared for him and Aunt Marilyn as much as they did. There are good people in the world and then there are people that are a notch better. Those people always look up to people like John. I know that he is resting and enjoying his time and looking down on the good that he brought this world. I will truly miss him, but believe that I am here in part because of him. Marilyn, my thoughts are always with you and I am just a phone call away. Love you always.

He's here in your heart, where you will always love him.

Extending deep & heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

I can't believe he is gone. He had more excitement for life than most 55 year olds!
