Denice and Vanessa, I met John while working here at Pfizer as John serviced many of our freezers while working for Ace Labs. I am shocked and saddened by the news I just received this morning! My thoughts and prayers are with both of you. John was truly a great person and is in Gods hands now! Sincerely,Craig Hays Washington Group Int. @ Pfizer Chesterfield

To Denise and Vanessa: May God bless and brighten your path as your journey continues.
To the Ferkel Family: As you know I feel like you all are my brothers and have a great concern and love for all of you, I also feel deeply sad about John. He will be missed dearly. He was always such a jokester and the great storey teller! It feels we've all been through a great deal of sorrow in the past several years and the Congress Avenue parents are leaving us quickly. I can only say I am thankful that God put our families on the same street. I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person to show my respect but I wanted all of you to know I'm thinking and praying for you.
God Bless, with Love, Vicki, Greg Sr., Greg Jr., Jessica and Nathan.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to your family. I worked with John for 3 years at Ace Electric. He was my friend and he will be missed very much. I'm so sorry that I cannot attend in person.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am good friends of Tim & Shannon Desmond and when they told me about John I felt very sad. I met you at Tim's 40th B'day party.

Joanne and I are sorry we will not be able to attend either the visitation or funeral service since we are currently out of town. Our prayers go out to your family at this time of great loss. I know words can not express comfort at such a time but our faith in God gives us the knowledge that John is now in the arms of our Savior and is at peace. It is our prayer that God gives you the strength and comfort to meet and overcome the challenges you will now face. Although as a family we did not spend much time together your family has always been in my prayers.
May God's presence be felt in your life.
Tom & Joanne
