May you find comfort in wonderful memories and knowing he has now reached his forever home with our good Lord. We are sorry we were not able to attend his memorial service, as our son ended up having vehicle problems and we had to help him out this morning.

I want to express my sympathy to the family. John was a great guy to work with. I knew him almost 50 years.
He was friendly, a good worker. I hope he finds a good place o ride his bike "up there".
