15 years and it still hurts like yesterday. Not a day goes by we don't think of you. Not a day goes by we don't miss you. Wondering how different all of our lives would be. Love and miss you Uncle John.

I was so saddened to hear of John's passing. He was one of my brother's (Bruce Pace) good friends and I was a childhood friend to his niece, Angie. I have fond memories of John, as do many others, as witnessed in this guestbook. John embodied the things that will live in our hearts and minds forever. My sincerest sympathies go out to his family.

Today is the last day……..
Today is the last day I will cry because you are gone. Tomorrow I will celebrate your life.
Today is the last day I will mourn your death. Tomorrow I will be thankful that you are in a better place.
Today is the last day I will wish you were still here. Tomorrow I will accept that the rest you go to, is a far better rest than you have ever known.
Today is the last day I will be sad, selfish, and mad. Tomorrow I will rejoice that you were in my life at all.
Today is the last day I will wonder ‘what if’. Tomorrow I will celebrate who you were, not what could have been.
Today is the last day I will think of all the things that you will miss. Tomorrow I will embrace all the things we had.
Today is the last day I will wonder if you fulfilled your destiny. Tomorrow I will accept that God had a plan for you, and that included leaving us.
Today is the last day that I will allow tears to overshadow the wonderful memories. Tomorrow I will laugh until it hurts remembering the good times.
Today is the last day I will be sorry that you left 3 children behind. Tomorrow I will pray that the time you were here will be enough to last them through their lives.
Today I will allow myself to feel the pain of heartbreak . Tomorrow, it will be healed as all of your pain is healed and you are young and beautiful once more.
Today you are put in your final resting place. Tomorrow I will feel your presence as you watch over us.
Today is the last day I will miss you. Tomorrow you are with me always.
That was your destiny, John - to love and to be loved. Your journey here is done, but the real adventure is just beginning.
So, through the last of my tears, with the last of my broken heart, I say Goodbye, Brother. My love for you knows no end. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Forever your sister,
Nan

My deepest sympathy to John's family. John was a close friend to my son Bruce and it saddens me deeply that another young life has been shortened. John touched the lives of many and will live on in their memories. God Bless.

Daddy,
Thank you for raising me and being the bestfriend I ever had! I remember all the hunting and fishing trips we used to take. My first day of kindergarden... I was so scared! But you stood outside and put me on the bus, then was there waiting for me outside when I returned. I never had to be afraid when I was with you. You were invinceable (Mr. untouchable) to me! I wasn't your "biological" doughter, but you always called me your first born. ugh.. I miss you daddy, and so will alot of people. I promise I will remind John jr, Josie, and sunny everyday about how much they're daddy loves them. R.I.P. dad. I will be talking to you in my prayers.

Uncle John,
Even though you are gone now I will always remember your great laugh, your awesome smile, and your loving personality. I am always thinking about the time when you took my sisters and I fishing and Josie and I went back to my house to get you a cup of coffee and by the time we got it back to you there was hardly any left. I will never ever ever forget you.
Love always,
Tessa
P.S. We drank your coffee.

John,
you were my first friend when I moved to Huntertown in the 70's. It saddens me deeply that I will never have a chance to see or speak with you again. You were a great friend to me John Schey and I will never forget you. I am sure you and Bruce will have plenty to talk about.

Goodbye Great Friend,
You are going to be missed. It seems like just yesterday when I ran into you in Huntertown, and now that will never happen again. You gave me some great advice along the way and I ask one thing in return, smack Mike in the head and ask "What was he thinking". You guys were the best. I still remember growing up together and working is South Caroline....the trouble Mike created... my prayers are with your family!

John,
We shared some great times and memories at Carroll high school. I was so sad to read of your passing. May you find peace eternally and may our Lord hold all of your children close to Him through this very difficult time for them. Love, Amy

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I went through grade school and high school with John, and am so sad to hear this news. He was always such a nice guy to be around. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Aunt Rhoda, Juli, Vic, and families,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one and our cousin, John-John (as we called him). Words are so hard to express at this time. Thoughts and pictures will now become treasured memories. I remember the Sunday afternoon visits with grandma Schey and aunt Chris, along with my mom and brother. The hayride my parents had for the cousins. Get togethers at Uncle Mike's in Kendallville. As years have went by so fast we really do not forget our families and loved ones. There is always a spot for them in our hearts. Cousin John will truely be missed by all whom he has ever touched in his life. Our deepest sympathy to your family.

John,
You were a great friend to me and my family. I am so glad that I was able to spend that entire Saturday with you one long month ago. It saddens us that you are gone and I know that all of your friends will miss your optimistic attitude and incredible energy greatly. As you had quoted in my yearbook " I will run fast and jump high any time with you" and that will remain forever......
Love,
Charlie and the rest of your circle!
P.S. Tell Bruce we said hi.
