Dear John and Family...Was sorry to hear about your dad...I spoke to him many times when he came in to have service work done at Stark/Griffin...I also would see your folks walking past the house...I just wanted to know I was thinking of you. Someone once said..."when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure"...

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. The Thodes were friends of my parents growing up in Menomonee Falls and I have fond memories of Jack Thode and the family.

Our condolences to the family. I went to HS with John. My mom passed away last May 2007. I have fond memories of her and know how hard it is to lose someone you love. It's the memories that keep her alive. May you also be blessed with fond memories of Jack. Jack had a great personality and it was always a "hoot" to talk with him at John and Lynnie's. God Bless, Barb
