Donna my dearest friend,
To all the family,
My prayers goes to all of you. We loved John dearly and we feel for all of you. My life was changed by John and will remain changed forever. He was a devoted husband, he was a loving father, he was a dear dear friend.
I lost my Johnny Bubbles as the kids would call him and I will never forget all of you.
Love and prayers go to each of you. May you always feel his love because he always spoke of all of you with pride and joy and love. There was nothing more important to him than all of you. May his soul rest in peace.

Johnny and Shane:
Sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with yous and your family.
Our parents were really good friends, I use to babysit the two of yous when we all lived in Colchester, Ontario.
Our dads worked together at SKD in Amherstburg, our mothers were best friends, but lost touch when your family moved back to Indiana.
