Bonnie & Family: I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with him at CHSD218 for eight years. I will always remember him as a man who loved his family, was very generous and had a heart of gold. Rest in Peace, John.

Dear Bonnie and family

I was sadden to learn of John's passing. Please accept our condolences. I worked for John at. Fields he was a great guy to work under. I still remember when he would have a cigarette he would tap it against the pack.
