Deepest Sympathies TO HIS WHOLE FAMILY.

BRENT ACUNCIUS

I am so sorry to hear about John. We met in 1976 at a Dale Carnegie course. Our families became the best of friends. Played cards very often. And of course all the bbq and pizzas that followed. And I'll always remember the chats he and I had at the Igloo after each Dale Carnegie class. Plus all the talks we had about farming when I stopped by to visit after moving from Illinois. He will be missed but not in thoughts.

Deepest Sympathies. I have many good memories of late night card games with John and Elaine. John always had a smile on his face.
