"I am crying while I write this cuz. I know I moved away quite some time ago but I will always remember all of our younger days...From the teenage roadtrips (two can) to your epic senior party. What will always mean the most are the memories after we grew up and even though we grew apart, we still found a way to get together when we could. Will always remember the ski trips to Sundown and the nights just catching up. I miss you cuz"

"Doris and family our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time. Even suffering with his own health he always managed to think of others. He stayed in touch with the boys and they thought alot of him. John, rest in the arms of our Lord."

"My earliest memory of Johnny start in middle school and fortunately we became friends and our paths continued to cross for more than 25 years. John was always there for me; we learned together, laughed a ton and he kept me out of a few tough spots and helped me work through a few more. He will always rise to the top in my list of "true friends"; the ones that as the years pass and we continue on with our lives we are able to still connect the way we always had. Unfortunately, the last 6-7 years we touched base less and less...I pray that he left this world surrounded by loved ones and into the arms of Jesus"
