Carol & Family,
John was our sales rep. at Brown County General Hospital for many years and we loved and adored him. He is the best sales rep. this hospital has ever known and probably always will be and I have told Seneca Medical that many times. He was funny, caring, worked hard, always upbeat and spoke his mind. I extend my sympathy to the family and sorry that it is so late in coming. Sincerely, Debbie Smitson

My deepest condolences to the entire Hunter family. Johnnie and I were grade school buddies and played a lot of sports together. I also was lucky enough to sneak in on some of the Hunter feasts on Glenwood. What a treat... I just found out about Johnnies passing by another good friend of ours Gary Baz... Gary wrote a rememberance to Johnnie that I'd love to share with anyone that's interested. If you email me at [email protected] I'll forward it on. May the peace be with you Johnnie.

Carol, Scott, Sean and Stephen. Our lives are enriched. Our memories bountiful. Our connection now, however far, forever bound. And all because of the beauty of laughter, good times, boys who beat-up on one another and that special place we call St. Chuck's. John may have been an Everyman, but in our lives and I know yours, he is; THE MAN. Please know our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and we promise to see you soon. John rest peacefully my friend and let us take care of the yard from now on. We love you all....Robert, Gretchen, Jason, Chris and Jared

"Johnny Angel"- he was one of a kind! I'm another Rosary Cathedral cohort, knew and loved the whole family, and I can say John was always special. I can't believe he's gone. I'm sure his Dad welcomed him with open arms! My deepest sympathies to his wife and children and the Hunter family.

Dear Carol, Scott, Sean and Steve,
Paulette, and I along with Terry and Katie and her husband Cliff want to express our deepest sympathy with the loss of John. I feel very fortunate to have been with him both in Toledo and Columbus, from playing in the Old West End to the best concession in Columbus at SC. I will never forget his announcement that his family was in Columbus, that Fall day when AT and Scott were in the 5th grade and I brought my IC football team to St Andrews for a scrimmage. From clear across the field just before we started I heard ``Hey T-Bone!'' The Hunters were in Columbus!
Always,
The A. T. Conlisk Family
