John always had a sincere, nice manner with me - I always had the feeling that he really did understand me when most others didn't. I will miss him - Bruce Swanson, Anoka

I am so sorry for John's family and their loss. John had worked for us since this summer. He was a very hard worker and a great asset. Clint and I were so blessed to have had John come into our lives for the short time we had with him. His love for Christ was great. He was a wonderful man, but I know John is home now, and he has no worries. Thanks John and God Bless your family.
