Dear Corny,
We were so sorry to hear about John. But we are, at the same time, a little jeolous that John is in Heaven with Jesus before we are!! Corny, you and John are dear friends. We love you both and are praying for you Corny. We will miss John but know that we will see him before long. We love you always. Raymond and Jean Sears

I remember with great fondness the early years of Hastings school with Johnny; baseball at recess and always the fun we had at St Ambrose Fair each year. I know he will be missed. God's grace be with your family. With sympathy-Chuck Reynolds
