I have just found out that my dear sweet Uncle Johnny had passed. I must have been out of town when the obituary was posted. I remember the many family gatherings and the fun I had talking with Uncle Johnny. I told him that I would always remember him as the baby of the family. We talked on the phone for long periods of time, especially when my grandfather, Otto, had been hospitalized. I will never forget Uncle Johnny!

First our deepest sympathy to John family for johns passing.
My mom Helen dwyer was Johns companion for over 20 + years. They spent a lot of time playing at the casino, playing the horses, dancing at Charlotte and Kodak,going to Helens grand children's soccer and baseball games, spending a few winters in Florida playing golf and enjoying senior activities, spending time at many Dwyer activities, children graduations, dinners , great grand children , many other events, family cook outs and many many euchre games, spending just nights together watching the Yankees,etc. My mom and our family will miss John.

To John's Family:
I have many good times and have lots of memories of the years that we shared together including winters in Florida and lots of Senior Center activities and family events. He is now in a better place and I was glad that I recently visited him.

I am Betty Potter's daughter Debbie. Unfortunately I didn't have an opportunity to meet my uncle. I pray that he is in a better place. I will keep his family in my prayers during these hard times. I hope because of his passing this will bring the family closer together. I wish my mom had more time with her brother, but I am praying you will be more closer to her now. I live in TN so I won't be there for the service, but I will be thinking & praying that all goes well. Tell my uncle, whom I never knew, I said "Hi"
