It has been a year, but I only just heard of John's homegoing. I worked with John in Italy from 1980-1982 and can testify he loved the Lord and the Italian people we were blessed to minister to and with. John was a hard worker and always ready to pitch in when a need showed itself. I have tried to let other coworkers and missionaries know on FB and as they hear of his passing they share our joy he is safe and sound with the Lord and they are sharing many fun memories of our time together. Our condolences to those friends and families who miss him.

My deepest condolences to you and your family!

John was a patient in the dental office I worked at.

John was always so pleasant and would
light up a room whenever he would go!

RIP John.

I work for one of the Allentown State Representatives and for many years John would come to our office for assistance. He was always so very kind and appreciative of our help, no matter how small the ask. The world needs more kind and polite people like John.

A grateful American.
