John wasn't big in stature, but he was big in deeds. He was always helping others. Whether raising a wonderful brood of children into even more wonderful adults, supporting St. John's through deeds and enthusiasm, taking food to the less privileged or always making this friend of Dale's always feel welcome and supported, John always had a smile and a positive word and attitude. He will be missed by many and the world is a little less positive due to his passing.
