Our sympathy goes out to each of the Arndorfer family as you mourn the loss of John. I have so many good memories of playing on the farm on Sunday afternoons with you guys. We loved the family reunions and get togethers in the summertime. We are so blessed to know John and are so very proud of his time given to our country in the military. All our love, LuAnn and Frank Espinoza
