My late grandfather, Walter Hoesly, and John were old friends. I only met John a couple times, some years ago, but those times were memorable. I hope your memories of him can ease the pain of his passing. Please accept my condolences.

We have many fond memories of John, or "Uncle Izzi" as we referred to him. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

When I was little, he always made me laugh. He made me feel good and always made sure my mother had what we needed when times got tough. He was a good man and I will miss him.
