Grandpa, you were very loved and will be very missed! All great memories when it comes to you! You were so patient and kind and brought so much joy to my life. It is an honor being your grand-daughter and I am so thankful for you! You taught me so much. Although I am so sad, I am happy that you and Grandma can finally rest in peace together. Sending love to my Nevada family and my family on these very difficult days.

I joined Abex Denison in 1967. John was a classy gentlemen, then is sales I believe. I know that Lyle shover went to wok for him in his cleaning business (See Lyle's Message herein).

Denison people were extraordinary and I am sure that Jesus will easily vouch for this, another great one.

RIP

I worked with John at Denison Engineering and later worked for him at Tremont Cleaners. He (and Barbara) were great people and John treated me well as his employee. And we had fun on the golf course together too. I know he will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
