Nate, Tiffany, Becky, and all the family. We are very saddened to learn of John's passing. He was always a gentleman and very respectful. My daughter Deb worked for John and Trudy and she said they were always family to her. She respected them both very much. There was a lot of laughter and busting when you were in his presence. John will be missed by his family and his many, many friends. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. RIP John.
