I miss you dad.
There is nothing anyone can say or do to take away the pain. But send you my deepest sympathy, to help you through these days. Love Donna & Family
I will miss the warm welcome you always offered. I will miss your pep, your jokes with the little smile, and your wonderful nature. I will miss hearing you tell me the rules as the games progress. Most of all, I will miss calling you dad. I love you, dad. I'm gonna miss you.
I love my brother very much and will miss his smile and his sweet nature. He always looked out for me as kids. My heart is hurting to not have him to hug , shake his hand, and be my fishing buddy.

Our preacher at home says "You go no where by accident. It is God who is sending you". We believe God sent us this 2000 miles to see John that last hour we saw, him full of life, smiles and laughs. He will be sorely missed.
We are so sorry. We hope happy memories will bring you all peace. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in a couple of weeks. We love you all.
Auntie Kay, Johnny, Bobbie, and Cheri. Uncle John was awesome! I have a lot of great memories from when we spent time visiting at your house as kids. He will be sorely missed. Much love and prayers to you all. Howard, Laura, Rebecca, and Erin
