Laneta and family,
For many years when I worked out at the Y, early in the morning, John was there with a smile, conversation, and tips to help me work out "better". We shared Laneta in our lives and enjoyed catching each other up on all things school, Laneta, and grandchildren. You have lost a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. My prayers are with you as grieve the loss of John.
