Dear Kathy, John and Michael,
I was so sorry to read in the bulletin that John had passed. John was so proud of the boys and whenever I ran into him at market day, church or the carnivals he always bragged how good the boys were doing. Knowing John you knew he loved his family.
We will keep you in our prayers.

John was a great man , he was not perfect and was not afraid to show it. He loved his family deeply and missed them every second he was not with them . I sat with John so many nights talking over some drinks and saw someone who was not selfish , he would give the shirt off his back for friends he cared for. I miss you friend , there will never be anyone like you .
