I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, while I was perusing the obituaries after a recent trip back to Willow Springs. He was a great guy, loved by all who came in contact with him. I will keep him in my prayers and memories. His legacy and memory live on in his greatest accomplishment, his children and grand children.

Dear Donna, John and family
My condolences on the passing of your father. We are never prepared to lose a parent, we grow up believing they will be in our lives forever. Hold the memories in your hearts forever. My fondest memory of Uncle John were the family picnics at my parents place on Mitchell Rd and his warm smile.
