I came across this notice doing a search of family history. My deepest sympathies. John was my grandmother's (Irene's) brother whom I wish I could have known more.

I am so pleased I got to know John and his beautiful wife, They were a wonderful couple who did everything together.and now they are smiling down on us. John is with his wife again where he has wanted to be. I know he is standing beside her holding on tight and will never let her go again.. They are finally both pain free and young at heart again. They are both missed very much and will forever hold a place in my heart.. My prayers are with the family
God Bless

I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Johnny's passing. He was a wonderful person and he will be missed by all who knew him.
I send my sympathies to Kathy (I am sending you a special hug) and the rest of the family.
I will always remember the many great times from my childhood when we were all gathered around the kitchen table. There were many hours filled with fun, laughter, great food and kisses from Aunt Marj.
