Dalene Stephane and family. Please know that I am thinking of all of you at your time of sadness. John was a rock and always had a positive outlook on life. I always enjoyed talking to him while he did work for me. If Stephany called while he was working, he always stopped and talked to her. Seeing how much he loved her and was always interested in what she was doing, made my heart skip a beat.

I knew John as a friend and have nothing but fond memories of him. Although we were out of touch in recent years, I remember him as a man whom I respected and admired for his wisdom, strong work ethic, sense of humor, kindness and incredible patience. He will be missed by all whose lives he's touched.

Darlene, I am so sorry for your loss. John and you were good Oneida street neighbors who I will always remember. I will never forget John playing frisbee with Marc and Craig when they were young. He was a good guy! He will be missed by all! Prayers go out to you and family.
