We have only known John for a short time, lucky enough to have met him and been neighbors for the past three years. In that time he has made us feel welcome and has lend a helping hand numerous times. Even though the time was brief, we both feel blessed to have known him and so thankful for his kindness. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to Peggy, all of his children and grandchildren and friends. We know he will be greatly missed. God bless you, John.
