Cindy and John, please know that you and your whole family are in our prayers. Your dad was a super nice man and will be missed by all who knew him. We will be putting a memorial brick in front of the church with his and Carole's names on it. I know you will be surrounded by family and friends for the next few days. We will be with you in spirit and will continue praying for all of you.

John and Michelle, your Dad talked about you and his grandsons repeatedly - he was so proud of each of you. He missed your Mom so much and spoke of her each time we were together. His faith in Jesus and the promise of Heaven were so dear to him. I can picture them together again, and surely he is singing tenor in the heavenly choir. We will miss his visits and quite frankly find it hard to realize that he is no longer a couple of doors down the road. God bless you all. May knowing your Dad is with Jesus and your treasured memories bring you comfort. In Christ's love, Ray and Maggi

I never had the pleasure of meeting your dad, Cindy. But if it's any indication of the love you have for your husband, John and your boys, he must have been a great dad and man. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
