"To Barb and the entire Huser clan, Our deepest sympathy at John's death. I feel as though I have grown up with your Dad always there starting way back with the Little Flower CFM group that included my parents and so many other great people. That group had to have been going when I was about 8. John and Barb were involved in everything at Little Flower and of course at Scecina and were always outstanding role models for all of us. What an awesome smile John had! The wonderful Huser bunch guided by John will be at a terrible loss without your phenomenal husband/Dad. Our deepest condolences.Pattiann and Lou Sharp"
