I remember a time when a group of us would get together every weekend in John's garage in Dover playing cards, working on cars and just having a good time in each others company. We were young and just starting out.We have since gone our own ways,only seeing each other once in a while. It's hard to beleive none of us will ever run into John at the store or call him with a question again. We will miss him.

For the short time that I knew John, I seen him touch so many lives in so many different ways. He is so was so well loved by his family and friends. May God comfort each and everyone of you during this trying time.

My heart is with all of you. Heaven has just become a more beautiful place. I can still remember when Grandpa John died, I loved that man so much. When John II, died a few years ago, it felt like the whole town was crying. I had never seen so many grown men cry. Now the loss of another wonderful man. Cass, you are a beautiful, strong woman,I know you would gladly have given your life in place of a loved one. At moments like this it is hard to believe that God has a plan. Gloria, my heart breaks for you, I can only hope that God will comfort you during this terribly sad time. I will keep all of you in my prayers. May God bless you with courage and strength. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Words can not express the loss that all of us are feeling with the sudden death of John. My heart goes out to Gloria, Patti, Dave, Beth and the rest of his family. John had such a big heart and was such a good person that he would do anything to help his family and friends. He will be missed by all!!!
