Uncle John, we remember those early days, some 57 years ago, when you played an important role in our young lives. You went from Uncle Johnny in the early years, to Uncle John in later years, and even John now and then. We´ll always remember your wisdom and laughter. When you were needed, you were always there with a helping hand. As you leave this life, and the people who love you, you´ll have many family members who will welcome you into eternity, God Bless You!

John may have been short of stature, but his was truly a giant of a man as he stood tall and proud in deeds and accomplishments. It was always a special time to have interacted with John, on any level, as he was one of a kind. His earthly existence was a blessing. As such, Pam & I had been blessed to have known John and his beautiful wife Sally. The pair brought joy, smiles, wit, laughter and fun to others in each adventure of their life's shared journey. With John, there was never a dull moment.
May John's memory live on throughout the generations. May His Memory Always Serve As A Blessing.

When some people leave this world they are irreplaceable. Uncle John was a testament of durability, wisdom and integrity.
He stepped up for my grandmother in my absence and despite the behavior of her own children, His devotion to my grandmother meant i will always have a debt with him.
When I was a child he was the first man who I saw as a leader and over the last 10 years we got to know each other he passed lots of wisdom and knowledge along to me.
When any of us leave this world all we can hope is to leave a legacy remotely close to Uncle John. Salute my friend rest well
