I'm stunned and very sorry. I knew John only briefly through work at Tri-S, but his humor and intelligence will be missed. My sympathies to his friends and family.

Steve, Mary, Dana, Lisa,

The light of life is a finite flame. Like the candle, life is kindled, it burns, it glows, it is radiant with warmth and beauty. But tragically, in the light of life and the flow of the seasons of life, winter chill can cause a gasp; a pause; a shock that comes all to soon. We are deeply saddened by the news. May you all find some strength, some reality in this most unreal time.

Our sincere regrets,

Eileen, Jon and Jarrod Kehl
