Very sorry to hear about your loss! John & I were roommates at Allegheny's "Delt House" 1965-'66, and he was best man at my wedding in '68. We last visited w/John in summer of '77. He'll be sorely missed!!!

So sorry to hear that John has passed away. We worked together at Brashear Summer Camp in the 60's and were good friends. He was a very nice man. God's peace be with him and your family. Linda

Johnny-Nine Toes was always my ray of sunshine on dark days. I miss working with him and laughing with him. He was a special blessing to all who knew him.
My prayers are with you all.

John was a great co-worker and wonderful person to know. I thought of him often and truly missed seeing him at PMP.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear of Johns passing. My prayers are with you. God Bless.
