I was sitting here eating breakfast and a gentleman walked by who looked similar to John. This prompted me to try to look him up on the internet as he would cross my mind from time to time. I lost contact with John about 15 years ago. He was a person you could never forget. What a talker and the stories he told were epic. He was a good man with a good heart. I'm definitely going to look him up on heaven's internet directory when I check in myself. See you in the future Mr. D!

John was a dear friend that words cannot describe. The kindness that John and Jan have shown to me and my family for the past 38 years will never be forgotten. Rest In peace buddy. I will miss our talks at the kitchen table

I am so sorry for your loss Janet. John was such a nice guy. I enjoyed the talks we had while he was waiting for you to finish work. I am sure he will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you. RIP John.
