My love and prayers go out to the whole family. What I will always remember about John is his smile. It lit up his whole face and his eyes just would shine with contained laughter.

I know he will have lots of company in heaven.

John and Jaye were always first to commit on my ski trips. John was an excellent skier, fun guy, and good pipe fitter! May God Bless you.
