Brother John has taught me how to drive an automobile at the age of 16. I never had an accident but may have caused a few. You will be greatly missed now and forever. We always had good times together when I came to Elmira to visit.
Love Sister Katie and family

To those who loved John Misnick as a brother, uncle or friend. Uncle John will be missed at the family reunions where he always brought the cake and his cup full of change to play cards. Our deepest sympathy. We regret not being able to attend the services we have a planned trip to Florida to visit our son Michael.

To all the family and friends. John will be truly missed. Over the years, he has been a mentor, friend and an uncle that I respected. He loved playing cards with the family at our yearly reunion and always brought a cake!! I will always remember the date that John passed, the 13th was my birthday. I will not be able to attend the services, I'm currently in Florida.
