We are so sorry for the loss of Uncle John. What a full life he had. I remember with fondness the warm welcome he gave us when we visited a few years ago. Our hearts are with you. We will be thinking of you tomorrow during his memorial service, and wish we could be there with you. Our love to you all, Karen, Victor and Hannah

We were blessed to have been John and Marianne's neighbors for the past 32 years. We have spent many happy memories with them. We already feel a hole in our neighborhood and hearts..but our great memories live on. Love to all the family from the Hanson family.Also condolences are sent from Cliff Eade and family in New Zealand. John and Cliff played golf together many times while visiting the states. Carolynn's Dad.
