No words could ever express the sadness we feel for the loss of your dear John. As true a Husband and family man as anyone could ever dream to be, Your John was the best.
His sense of humor and charismatic way made him a standout to all who knew him. We have all been blessed with his presence.
His soul is now in the presence of the Lord in a glorious celebration.
Praying that his legacy continues to be joyous of the gifts they inherited .
May God grant you comfort in todays sorrows, and peace for the days to come.

I have been doing mortgages for thirty years and have had the pleasure of dealing with several of my Uncle John's former students. Every one of them would inevitably say the he was the best teacher they ever had. I never had him as a teacher, but I can attest that he was the best uncle I ever had. I will miss him. My love to Aunt Cathy and the entire clan.

A great uncle to me. And great to his parents, siblings, wife, children and grands.
Funny guy; always told incredibly hysterical stories.
So happy that you all got to be with Uncle Johnny before he passed.
Thinking of you all.
With love, Terry Norton
