John was a wonderful man. He was very witty,and had a great laugh. I am so glad that his son and I drove cross country to spend a month with the family ❤. I'll never forget working out in the yard with him. There was great sadness at his passing and it's been 1year today and our hearts are still broken and we mourn his passing still and will always. My heart and love go out to his wife Margaret, his daughter Cathy, and his son John whom I love very much. John had so many friends and I know he is greatly missed by them. Love Caryn Clendening this is what I wrote.

Peggy, Kathy and John , I am so sorry for your loss. You have all been neighbors to my in Laws for 51+ years and I feel I have known you for all that time. I know years ago when Wayne was thinking of scuba diving John helped him a lot. John also helped my Father in Law Bill and Mother In Law Florence when they needed some help. For that I am grateful. May he forever rest in Peace and swim freely in the heavens.
