Brother, uncle, husband, father and friend …you will be missed.

John had a wicked giggle that made you laugh too. He had a real soft spot for critters and orchids. He loved a pick up truck and a trailer and helping his friends and neighbors haul stuff.

May you rest in peace❤️

My deepest sympathy to John’s family. My prayers are for the comfort the many memories that were shared will help you to endure. A scriptural thought at John 11: 21- 25 was written to provide comfort. Make you draw close to Jehovah God is my prayer.

Linda’s father, John was a friendly, caring and charismatic individual. Our family enjoyed seeing him drop by at Carriage House, and we enjoyed our conversations with him. He was always smiling and humorous. His presence will be greatly missed, but we know when we see a cardinal stop by for a visit in Linda’s garden, he’s around♡

“The Mayor” will be deeply missed. John was the guy that kept us all up to date on the neighborhood happenings. He helped us in keeping our plants green and orchids blooming. There wasn’t a dog that didn’t pass his garage without getting a treat. He kept the woodpeckers busy with the boxes he built, and birds and squirrels happy with his feeders. John was an amusing guy. He always had a twinkle in eye and made you laugh at his stories. He was smart too. He always had the right connection to get stuff fixed. If you did a good job for John, he’d tell everyone. If every neighborhood had a John, this world would be a better place. There will be a huge void around here. We mourn with Theresa, Linda and Mark. Our hearts go out to you. We will never forget our friend.
