I will always remember the friendship John showed me over the years. The shortcuts he taught us on the county routes in Wisconsin will always stick in my mind when I'm driving up there. Patricia, Larry, John, Karen and the rest of the family, my condolences. I'm deeply sorry for not being able to attend.

My condolences to the family. I only new John for a short time and he was a fighter. He may have lost this fight, but he is standing proud looking down on all his family and friends. My prayers are with all of you. Mary Morgan, Occupational Therapist (St. Pauls)

You will be desperately missed. I will never forget what you said to me as you were walking me down the aisle on my wedding day, "You still have a chance to turn around and get out of here." I will always remember your humor and your smile and the great times we had during the years. You were blessed in that you had so many, many friends who loved you and for your wonderful family who also loved you very much. I will love you always. Say Hi to my Dad and Mom. Love, Kathie
