To The Soda's,Growing up as a child to adult it was always a pleasure to spend time with your family. Over the past few years I've run into John at the gas station in the mornings several times a week where he would always ask how my children were doing and how the family was. He was and still is very proud of both his children and who they have become and boasted to me about your successes routinely. It wasn't too long ago when he bought that new car, he was so excited and proud to give me a tour of it from fender to fender. We had some good laughs about BBQ's after the Memorial Day Parades and my Uncle Bob snoring in the recliner when they lived together. For anyone who really new John knew a man that appreciated good company, but more than that, the love he had for his family. Whether it was talking about fishing, sports, family, or hitting that big scratch off jackpot, John was always a pleasure to be around in my book. I'm looking forward to our next cup of coffee together over a few $5 tickets.With much love and condolence,Andrew Longhenry
