John was a friend since grade school. He was a very good friend of my sister, Josephine. They went to grade schol, high school and worked for the state. She passed away in December, 2004. They may now be back enjoying each other's friendship.
We we saddened to hear about John's passing. My wife, Jeanne used to help him when he was shopping at Bachman's where she worked. We really were awed by and enjoyed his Christmas tree. John, God Bless You, you were a fine person.

John was my 1st cousin and used to live not too far from me when I lived in MN. He was very thoughtful and loved to play cards. I will never forget his Christmas trees and their decorations. You couldn't even see the tree once he got through decorating.

He will be missed.

I worked with John for many years. His gentle manners and sense of humor saved the day many times. The world will be a smaller place.

John was my nephew and was always very good to me and my family. I always received a beautiful birthday card from him. He died on my birthday. We will miss him.

John was a neighbor and good friend to my aunts (Vi & Eleanor). They were sad when John moved out of the neighbor. He will be missed!
