To the Waigand Family,

Although I have not seen my grandfather since I was 6-7 years old, I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure you will miss your father and grandfather.

Dear Steve, Paul and Marty, my brother Dave informed me of your fathers passing. I often recall my childhood journeys to Worth with my Dad and visiting your folks (and Baron). Eventhough many years of since past, I remember Uncle John as always having an open ear and as an adult who I respected. I extend my condolences at the loss of your Dad. Michael Johnson (cousin)

Steve, Paul & Marty -

So sorry to hear about your dad, Uncle John. Although it's been a long time, I do remember fondly the visits to Worth. I truly regret not being able to attend any of the services you had for your dad, as I have been living in Naperville for the past 10 years (but didn't hear the news until 7/14/03). With sympathy - Mary Ellen Johnson Laidman (cousin)

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Uncle John was my favorite uncle. I used to visit him once a year when he lived in Worth. I always enjoyed talking to him. He was a very special person.
