Our sweet neighbor, our very dear friend will be missed immensely. It's the little things, the small every day occurrences that we'll remember. All the laughter, the stories, and John's smile will be a part of us always. John, was a gift that was delivered next door. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. We will always treasure what we had together.

Love,
Carole & Bob

John was a great neighbor. He was always so friendly and personable. My husband and I will miss our chats with John and his presence. May your hearts soon be filled with all your wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I always enjoyed time & smiles shared with Dad Goelz & felt so very lucky every time I saw him, able to exchange hugs & chat at recent Masonic events. His smiles & hugs, kindness & sense of humor always will be remembered. Karen & Sue, my heart is with you both, sending heartfelt prayers to you and your families.

John Goelz was a member of the Milwaukee Accordion Club and its Milwaukee Ensemble. He was a valued member with a big heart and much fun to share at rehearsals. He played with us at four of our play outs this October and we were all so glad to have him join us. It is with a sad heart that we continue without him. He was loved by all and he will be dearly missed. God bless you, John.

John was a wonderful man who enjoyed life to the fullest. He was a very special friend to my mother, Dolores, and they shared many wonderful memories together over the past ten years. John will be missed by our family and by the many other lives that he touched. He truly lived a purposeful life and cared deeply about those around him. We are sorry for your loss, the Lorentz, Gale and Massman families.
