John was my first HS friend in Bellevue, and remained a friend for the next 53 years. The world is a little less bright without him, but his love for family and friends will live forever.

Our hearts were saddened to hear that John passed away. He was a cousin of mine on the McQuinn side of the family. I was in high school when his sister, Maureen, was born. I came and stayed in their folks' home and helped out part of that summer, taking Johnny to swimming lessons, and helping with household duties. We always loved having their family come to visit us at Union, and loved going to their folks' home.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Cathy, Jenni Maureen and families. John was highly respected and loved by many. He will be missed greatly.
May God comfort your hearts and may you rest in Him. Love and prayers.
Cousins Iola (Rich) Isely, Alan and family

Having a friend like John made my high school years in Bellevue a highlight of my life. The pickup basketball games in the driveway at his house are one of my favorite memories.

Growing up Johnnie came to visit at Grandma Nettie's at the farm so John, Maureen and I played outdoors when younger Hide and Seek as many places to hide on the farm.
