Judy, Maureen and Cheryl,
I am sorry to hear of John's passing. I remember John always had a smile on his face and seemed as though he truly enjoyed life. He was certainly a great father because Maureen and Cheryl both turned out to be great people and good parents themselves. Growing up down the street, I know he was a wonderful member of the community, a hard worker and a good, decent person. Losing a loved one is very difficult. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy all of the memories you have and God Bless.
Sincerely,

Debbie Falstad (Kratovil)
