I am deeply saddened by John's passing. He was always kind to me; and in fact gave me one of my first jobs as legal secretary (assistant) in his office. I learned much about that job ON the job. He remembered me on the street and in the coffee-shop; always using my name; 30 years after I left the job. The world has lost a good person. So sorry for John's family. - Roberta Bjorling

We have cherished our friendship with John and Wilma beginning with John M's bridge partnership with John in the 1970s. This friendship grew, leading to John performing our wedding ceremony in 1981. We attended many bridge tournaments with John (and sometimes Wilma), and enjoyed their 50th anniversary party at the Hope Island Inn. The friendship passed to generations as our son, Kenny, was friends with Peter and Astor at U.W. We will remember John's relaxed and genial nature and great story telling with great fondness. We send our love to Wilma and the family.

Thank you for the superb story of John's life....I enjoyed reading it. I don't think
i ever spoke to him once, but can still picture him at church with the oh so pleasant face and the ever present thick rim black glasses that just seemed to fit him.....and obviously still did many years later. Went to school with at least a couple of his kids...good people all. My condolences to family and my delight at a life well lived.
