Dear Aunty Diane and Family,

Uncle John will be missed very much by me and my family. We all loved him so much. Uncle John was a quite and kind man. He loved his wife so much, and they had a wonderful loving relationship, that I both admired and respected. I am very happy to have spent time with him just a month ago in your home. I got to talk to him about so many things and about a new pet project of mine the Ralston/Sikut family tree. He told me so many wonderful stories and gave me his written accounts of his memories that he put to paper. I will alway cherish those and will share them with my children when they are old enough to understand all the information that is there. I will miss Uncle John very much. He was such a special man with such wisdom. May he rest in enternal peace with our Lord God.

Aunty Diane, Chris, Jeff, & David.
How sorry I am to hear of Uncle John's passing. Uncle John was a great man, and I was blessed to have had him as an Uncle and godfather. My lasting memory of Uncle John is and will always be our family vacation at Cape Cod as kids. Uncle John and I had a head stand contest, and Uncle John won! Have peace knowing his pain is gone, and he will always be with you. I love you all and wish I could give each of you a great big hug! Love Cheryl
