Our sincerest sympathy to the family. We have fond memories of John and his sister, Mary Lou. Aunt Beaty was my very favorite aunt. Fondly, Susan Berkheimer Hudson.

John was the best, the world is a lesser place without him. He was like an extra father to me and even after growing up and leaving, he made sure to let me know I was always welcome in his home. He would go out of his way to take care of his family and friends and he absolutely adored his family. Kozue and I would like to pass along our condolences to his family
