Dear, Signe, Gary, Susan, Craig, Brian and Jan

I am very sorry for your loss. I know how difficult these times are to handle. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I spent the last few weeks seeing wonderful pictures of John growing up, in the army and holding Cully. It is very therapeutic to remember the good times.

Love,

Mark Youngquist and Family

My condolences. I worked for MNDOT in Mankato when John was Asst. District Engineer. I got to know Gary as a good friend. John was a good man.
