John P. Kolesar "Peanuts" age 73.

John did life in a big way. He was a devoted family man. He loved traveling and always looked forward to his family vacations. John took great pleasure in the outdoors, especially grilling, boating, and fishing. On the weekends, he would go to one of his favorite places, the cottage in Port Clinton. He took great pride in carrying on family traditions such as the meat roast and making sausage.
He will be forever loved by the hearts he has touched.
