Dear Mary, their children, his Mom and Dad, and ALL the Buckley and Gordon families, especially Tim,
It is with a heavy heart I give to all of you my deepest condolences on losing this man of great spirit, wit and heart. It almost seems impossible he will no longer walk among us but I know he is in our Lords hands. God will find a special place in heaven for him, cheering up and busting chops with all the other angels!
God bless you all! RIP John

Mary, we are so sorry to hear of John's passing. All of the time that we knew John he was always an amazing example of walking through hardship with a joyous spirit and a smile for everyone. It warms my heart as I think of John, in his new Heavenly body, sitting at the feet of the Lord worshipping Him and basking in the radiance of His presence. What a wonderful witness John's life was to the joy that comes from keeping one's eyes on the Lord.
