I am so sorry to hear about John. I remember him from soccer games. I would also see him when I worked at Eversan. Always enjoyed talking with him. My prayers are with the family.

Like most of our customers, John became a friend of the business and would have been insulted if i referred him as a customer. Always in good spirits. Enjoyed his visits to the shop. He will be missed

I knew John while working at the Marcy post office. He was a gentleman always a smile on his face. Conversations were of family fishing and maple syrup. I had great respect for him and enjoyed seeing him at least once a week. I’m so sorry for your loss my the love you shared comfort you during the days ahead.God Bless.
