Resh family-
I don't even know where to begin... John was great. I met him while working at the Giant on 11th and Rockland and I'm absolutely shocked. Your son, nephew, cousin, etc. was an amazing person & I cannot begin to explain how sorry I am for your loss. I will definitely keep this family in my prayers!

I am so sorry your wonderful son passed away. I lost my 24 year old son in 1984, so I know the deep loss you must feel. Sadly, I offer my deepest sympathy....(from your neighbor)

I count myself incredibly blessed to have known John during high school. Any class that we were in together was so much more enjoyable.
I was so sorry to hear of his passing and your loss. John was a great man.

I was deeply saddened by the news of John's passing. The long summer days Coach Frank, my father, John and I spent down at the Stonersville senior field hold many beautiful memories for me. I am so sincerely sorry for your loss and I will have your family in my thoughts as you celebrate John's life and mourn his loss. He was an outstanding person and will be sorely missed.

We are so sorry for your loss.
John was such an awesome young man. I so enjoyed all the times John helped at the pantry. He always made it a point to talk to me while gathering shopping carts at Giant in Exeter and always waved as he passed the house in his jeep.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
