Dear Bud and Betty,
Words cannot convey my sadness when I heard that John had passed.
It seems like yesterday that we were enjoying high School together, especially on the baseball field where John loved to be.
I beleive that in our next meeting he will be over at first base,giving me words of encouragement as I try to get out of a bases load jam.
I only wish I had stayed closer in touch with John over the years. O how they fly by.
Much love to you, Bud and Betty, and thank you for giving us John to know and love.

Dear Grainger Family: I was so very sad to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful, intelligent man, and I have such great memories of the classes we shared at Amphi. He will truly be missed but most fondly remembered. Love, Lee Ann Lindbeck, Class of '69.

Dear Bud and Betty, I'm so sorry to hear of John's death. Knowing how close you all were makes it especially tough. My prayers are that you find a moment of peace to spend together remembering all the good times you have shared. John was my friend and I will always remember our time together in California playing baseball with you as our coach and mentor. So many football games, basketball practices and baseball clinics that John was so much a part of. John knew he was loved, I wish we could have stayed in closer touch. I will miss the man who will always live in my memories on a grass field,in the summer with the smell of soft leather. Your friend, Randy Young

Dear Bud and Betty,
Please accept my hearfelt sympathy for your loss. John was a great person and a good friend to me. My failing was not to stay in touch with him. Life shows us over and over how vulnerable we all are. No words can offset you sorrow, but please know my thoughts are with you. Dennis
