I am sure there was great joy at the Rainbow Bridge as his furever friends led him home. I will always remember him as "Lefty." He had such an incredible smile.

I grew up across the street from John (lefty) and his family on Central Avenue. I always looked up to John. I enjoyed seeing him from time to time when he was in Richland Center. I will miss him. My sympathy is extended to all of his wife and family at this time.

To Janice and family ...

Our heartfelt sympathy to you at this difficult time. Of course, I knew him as "Lefty," as did his classmates at RCHS. He was a great guy--great sense of humor, amazing athletic ability, bright, and caring. We know he loved his Shelties, too, and that he loved his wife and family very much. He gave a lot to this world ... and he will be missed.

Our thoughts are with you.
