Johnny and Bobby,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Our family just learned of your loss, and we've been reminiscing over email about that epic house boat trip on Lake Cumberland. We've shared so many memories over the years, and I'm sorry to have missed the funeral. You both were so thoughtful when our dad passed away and came to pay your respects. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Linda, Hank and Joan

Hugs to the three of you and prayers for comfort to the entire family. Grateful to have wonderful memories of storytelling and laughter with John and Barbara during Sandalfoot´s "Juice n Jabber" events - your family winter home away from home for decades.

I now picture John and Barbara strolling the Sanibel beaches once again, hand in hand as the sun rises and shines brightly through the windows of Unit 5D3. Their love for each other lives on eternally.

With much fondness and sincerest condolences,

Jane Michaud
