Dear Cheryl & Family I'm not sure you would remember me my name is Jim McKenzie and John and I worked together at Standard Bank many years ago. For some reason John came to my mind today March 24, 2011 and I went to Facebook and found that he had passed away. I am so sorry and if you can please call me at 309-531-0788 I would love to talk with you. My heart gors out to you and your family.

Dear John and Evelyn, I just learned of John's passing and wanted to send you my sympathy. He was far too young to leave this world. I remember babysitting him with Lois when he was little as well as seeing both of you here at the hospital a few years ago. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, I'm so sorry for your loss.
