So sorry to hear of John's passing. I knew him thru Trimble Trucking as he and Larry hauled loads out of Jacques/Mycogen Seed Company in Lincoln, IL. My memory of two guys that were great to work with. May he rest in peace!

My prayers and thoughts are with John, Donna, Ben and to the entire Trimble extended family. I have known John since first grade. During First grade, he would always go home to lunch and one day came back catching up with both Connie and myself to tell us about the big fire aat our place. It caused a stir with both of our teachers as of course we did not want to sit in the classroom. We have always kept in touch during the years. Ran into John and Donna a lot during the years but was so shocked to hear of his passing. Since we moved to Florida, did not even realize he was sick. May he rest in peace and cherish the memories. He was a great person and friend. Bonnie Roth, Florida

We're saddened to hear about the passing of John. We share in your sorrow.
John was so gracious in inviting us to the Mackinaw '71 Class Reunion at the winery after our family moved from Mackinaw to Morton. We often ran into John and his wife and it was like we never missed a beat of the good times in Mackinaw. Please accept my deepest condolences to you over the loss of John. I offer you my heartfelt support and friendship in this difficult time

My Mom left her Mackinaw home and went to Hopedale nursing home.
John was extra nice to her made her feel accepted.

John was in my sister Sue´s class in school. Sue has already passed but I remember her telling me that John was one of the nicest boys in her class.
