Dear Natalie, Reese, Quintin, and Grace:
I didn't know your husband and Dad well but I've said "Hi" many times over the last 4-5 years. I have 2 boys and a girl like you and my son, Hunter, is in Reese's grade at SL. I've seen your family at the pool, playing outside, planting in winter (!!), and just walking in the neighborhood. I'm the curly red-head who jogs by your house every day and chases my kids at the pool. I've notice that John hasn't been around for several mos and wondered if all was OK with your family, a family just like mine. I worried for you. Then I started noticing extra guests and then saw your funeral wreath. I feel heartsick for your family. I'm so sorry you lost your husband and Daddy. It seems incomprehensible. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your terrible loss. Let me know if there is anyway we can help you through this time.

John was a wonderful father and husband. From the e-mails listed he was a memorable teacher. John was a good man, the kind of man that gave you a sense of comfort and security. I wish I had spent more time with Natalie and John. I love them both so very much; my prayers are with his family. Natalie I am so very sorry for your loss.

Although it's been a long time since I last saw John I will always think of him as a kind and caring person. He was a very devoted father and husband. He will be deeply missed.

It's been six years since I was in his class but he'll always be my favorite foreign language teacher. Does anyone else remember all the goofy games he used to make us play? And that no matter how much we hated conjugating those stupid verbs, he always kept you from ripping out your hair? If it wasn't for his class, I wouldn't have even met my best friend. Wir lieben sie, Herr. R.I.P.
