My deepest condolences to the Hepinstall family.
Many of my childhood and school year memories include John. Our neighborhood had a great group of kids and we made lots of memories over the years. From raking paths in the grove of woods at the end of Lakeview Dr, building forts and treehouses, riding bikes and building jumps so we could play Evil Knievel, to playing 4-Square in the street. As we got older, we all cruised the city street and did all the typical teenager things; we had a great group of friends! As we left school and all went all own ways, many of us lost touch but Facebook helped us reconnect in one way or another. I’d get random messages from John and we’d chat like we’d just seen each other last week. Years had passed since we’d seen each other but the friendship remained. I’ll miss those messages and I’ll miss John.
Keeping you all in our prayers.

Hello Hepinstalls, I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. He and I were elementary school sweethearts, and he and Bruce and I played a lot on Swain Street. He and I would act out our favorite movies on the playground. He was a great friend. My heart goes out to you all.
