John ( and Sylvia) were patients at Dr. Strand’s dental office where I was blessed to get to know them. John was such a kind, genuine man. Loved our conversations-like talking to a dear friend! It was so evident of the love John and Sylvia had for each other—and their family. Deepest sympathy to all of you.

John was a so loved and kind man. He would make a wonderful Mother's Day brunch for all of us at their home that I attended and we had so many great memories with the Grandchildren we shared. God Bless him and may he rest in peace and greet our dearest Sara Rose who are are new Angels. He will be missed.

Great Uncle John was one of my very favorite Great uncles. He truly had a heart for me. I remember him so clearly taking time to talk with me and ask me about my life. He very much touched my heart and left a fingerprint on my soul. It was because of him that I only chewed juicy fruit gum. My love for him never weakened, only grew with time. I'm grateful for the many opportunities we had to see one another. So very much like grandma his heart was so warm and kind.

My uncle John was a great man. He always had a beautiful smile, gave great hugs and always was willing to share a stick of juicy fruit gum! He shared his military valued when he was part of the 21-gun salute at my dad's military funeral 12 years ago. He will be deeply missed!
