John,
You were one person I was looking foward to seeing at our 20 year reunion.
You will always be one heck of a football player!

You were the older brother I never had. Words can not express the void that the family will feel without you around. Thank the Lord we know who He is and that he can comfort us and give us peace in our time of grieving. Unfortunately life gets busy and we take for granted that our family and friends know how we feel about them. I hope and pray you knew how many lives you touched in your 37 years and how much you were loved by your family and friends.

John,
You will be missed very much. I will miss playing softball with the best player I have ever played with. I will think of you everytime I pitch a softball.
Thanks for being my friend,
Bill
