To John's Family:
We have lost a very real and wonderful human being. The time I spent with John learning to love life and enjoy playing music, and with you, Janet and Van, have been memories I have reflected on many times over the years. I will miss John every day until we meet again!

John,
You- the incredibly funny, talented, older-boy-across-the-street, friend of my older brothers, proud owner of cool cars and ideas! You made our neighborhood fun, were nice to all the kids and families in it, and made memories for us all to last our lifetimes...

Like the time your hotrod rolled backwards down your driveway, across Greysolon Road, hitting nothing, and coming to a stop on our front yard! Waking up to see that was better than Santa Claus! (I think Dad ran out in his pajamas.) Thank you for all the laughs!

Love,
The little girl across the street who adored your basset hound Riley, and who admires you still-

My sincere condolences to John's
family at this sad time. John had a gift for open, honest conversation and the Easter I spent with him and his family at his home was memorable

To John's family & friends,

It's been a few years since I had the opportunity to work with John back at Great Lakes Instruments, and despite his physical limitations, he was always an energetic professional.

A very nice man and a pleasure to have known. Our prayers are with John today and with all who knew him.
