John will be greatly missed in our neighborhood. Scott and I will miss him and all his questions for us about all our new/used vehicles that we would purchase at auction, fix up and drive to FL. The last time we talked to John was a week prior to his passing. As Scott's son passed away a week prior to John's passing. John called Scott to give his condolences. Scott's son and John were both the same age. Very sad all around. I pray for John's family and hope all the wonderful memories will give everyone joy.

My heart goes out to Laurel and the rest of John's family. As kids, I will always remember John’s competitive spirit. Whether we were playing tetherball outside of Holy Family or bowling at Red Ray Lanes, John had a desire to succeed and always tried his best. Wishing you all peace, courage, and love at this time of sorrow.

I remember taking my nephew John out for dinner or a movie on his birthday most every year when he was a child. I enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together making memories.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of John. John was very instrumental in growing our irrigation business. We also got to know his brother Brian who also worked for us. Great memories for sure. We at New Frontier Lawn Care are thinking of John and his entire family.
We will all miss John

My dear nephew, I fell in love with you the day that I met you in your little tuxedo and bright smile. That smile meant so much in who you would become. A man who showed love to his family, friends, animals, and even old aunties. I am glad I got to see you at Gene’s funeral. Rest well my dear boy.

Dearest Johnny,
Your laugh still echoes in my head, your voice I can hear so clearly. I still see you sitting in the armchair at Sunrise Lane, with Pucky on your lap, her not realising she was no longer a puppy and weighed 80lbs, but you did not care, because she loved you so much.
Like we all do.
I hope you and Pucky are on that heavenly meadow, running and playing together now in the warm sunshine.
Rest easy, dear John. Until we meet again.

To my sweet big brother, John.
How I miss you so.
I will see you in the snow’s sparkle. I will feel you in the warm rain. I will carry you with me always. And know that you’re not in pain.
I love you.

John - words can’t express the grief I am feeling right now. I know you would be able to find a way to articulate them. I will miss your phone calls - even if I couldn’t always answer them. You always had a way of finding the busiest moments of my day to call. I think you probably knew I could use a break to talk. Even though I know you had a purpose behind your calls, you always wanted to know what was going on in my life.
I wish Harper and Cooper had more of an opportunity to get to know you. They loved the moments they had with you, and they know you loved them dearly. I am so blessed to know that you got to watch Harper’s hockey game last weekend, and cheer her team along. I know you will be watching their games from Heaven.
God is blessed to have you as an Angel. You will keep Him on His toes with your wit. Please give Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Don big hugs from me. I miss you all dearly. Enjoy your endless rounds of golf together ❤
