Everyone who knew John knew he was so caring, loving, religious and a dedicated family man. He touched the hearts of all who knew him. He loved life and while his health had been an issue for decades, he lived each day as if he was healthy. That is why his long battle with IPF persevered. My Husband and I will miss him dearly. We will cherish the many happy memories we had together. As in this picture, in the Finger Lakes of New York on Lake Keuka.

With All Our Love To The Jennette Family, Gary and Gail Reichl

Anyone who knew John shared almost universal feelings. He was a good father, good husband, a kind man, and a good friend. There is a small hole in the world that John used to occupy. He will be greatly missed.
