being friends with Tony, I would often go to his house to share my baseball cards or hobby things, John was usually there and always kind and with a smile on his face. I remeber helping him spread rocks out on the driveway.When we were done he gave a firm handshake. I believe it was in the early 1990s i will miss his kind,generous personality. Sorry to the family for your loss of this great man. May God bless you all,sincerly. Hope to talk soon Tony.

To think of John brings to memory the kindest, gentlest smile ever known to mankind. He could melt away anything with a smile, a touch, and a kind word. It was heaven to be in his presence, and I always longed for more time with him. It is rare to see love everlasting, but John and Linda loved each other dearly. It was Linda's infectious laugh that stole his heart away - I could see how he could fall so completely. My condolences go out to the boys, to the grandchildren, to all who shared the joy, who knew the love that was John and Linda. Good bye for now John. Something precious has returned to heaven.
