John's mom, sisters Laura and Dawn, brothers, Rick and Fred, and his children, Destiny, Shawn, Justice, Jeremy, Corie and Angel, send you heartfelt thanks for being with us when we needed you most.
You were able to let John's children see all he was to so many people. This did something fantastic for them. Destiny and Shawn were helped to keep the faith. Justice was finally able to cry.
We could see Corie, and Angel transform before our eyes from frightened little girls to wondering children hearing about their Dad from so many people who knew and loved him.
Jeremy saw his Dad in other peoples eyes and was happy and proud of what he heard.
You forfilled and returned the love that John gave.
We are so very thankful for you. You are helping us make it through that which we must travel.
We send our love and appreciation to John's friends... and ours.
With love, John's family.

John was a VERY friendly person. I worked with him a short time and he always had a smile on his face. He was a great pleasure to be around. He has gone to a better place. I wish his family prayers.

We love you Dad

I can now imagine John standing in the Greatest Light; brow without furrows, bones supple and strong. His lessons were not trivial, his words not wasted. If what John believed is true, he is just fine and I believe that he wishes the same for us.

My fondest memory of John was riding in the back seat as a chaperone when he and my sister Norma dated some 30 years ago. He was always a true gentleman. Rest in peace John.
