Although John and our family were neighbors for a relatively short time, we couldn't have asked for a kinder, more generous and caring person for a next-door neighbor. We will miss his kind words and friendly waves. Our deepest condolences to John's loving family.

John, it was fun to work with you in the '70's putting in pipe at Regis. Your work endures today!
