My Johnnie Jim ~ he was like a loving good hearted "Teddy Bear", always ready to help anyone who needed it. I remember him coming to Auburn as a young child full of life and with a big smile. He's in God's hands now. My love & prayers to all the family. Aunt Louise Rupnik Fedor & family.

My Uncle John was everyone's Uncle John. He cared as deeply and laughed as loudly as anyone I've ever known. He was an unapologetic original copy and I will miss him forever. See ya love ya bye Uncle John.

Those We Love don't go away,
They walk beside Us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still Loved, still missed and very Dear.

We will miss you deeply, Uncle John.
God has welcomed another Angel thru
