Liz and Jen, so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. It was a bit of a shock as the last time I saw him a few years ago he seemed fine. Your dad was a great guy and I remember many interesting conversations with him at football games, band practices and competitions. My deepest sympathies to both of you and your mom. I will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts. May all the good memories of your dad give you comfort.

Helene,
Our deepest sympathies on your loss. John was one of those GE people that taught not only manufacturing processes, but interpersonal skills as well. More importantly, he taught our team about integrity and how to live a life to be proud of.
Our memories of John are fond. Keep yours close to you and he will be with you always.

I will miss Uncle John and fondly remember his jokes and the stories of his travels abroad for GE. God bless him, Helene, Elizabeth, Jen and the rest of his family.

The Valley of Erie Scottish Rite extends our sympathy to the family of our Brother John. His Scottish Rite motto was, "spes mea in Deo est" (my hope is in God).
