To the Piechnik Family:

You have my deepest sympathy on your loss of such a wonderful person. I met John at the Daughters of Sarah when my Mother was there on the same unit when Betty was there. He was very dedicated to Betty and I was very impressed with the love he showed. May God bless you all and take you through this most difficult time. RIP John!

I met John a few years ago at Beltrone, he approached me and asked if I knew a man called Ray, I told him I knew 2 , my Husband and Son. He proceeded to tell me he grew up on Third st. and my husband also lived in that house after that we had a great friendship, .John was a thoughtful, gracious Man. My Thoughts, Prayers and Sympathy are with his family. He was always a true gentleman, and always had a smile.We will miss him at our Senior club meetings.
