I wish I had words to lighten your agony but sometimes words are just not enough. Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad and Grandpa. I love this picture of John as it sparks memories of the man that in the best of times was so full of life. Always thoughtful! Always a joker! He could fill a room with his character and have everyone in tears of laughter. He was so caring and generous. Never shy on offers to give a helping hand or to share whatever he had. John will always have a special and lasting place in my heart and the fond memories of him I will forever hold dear. There are no goodbyes. “What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.”-Helen Keller You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love and Hugs Always …Cheryl and Annie

So sorry to hear about your Dad passing Randy.

Where do we start? So many memories of John as we jointly raised our kids in Platt's Lane, playing penny poker and enjoying barbecues. John had a heart of gold and the best laugh, ever! The world has lost a beautiful man but his soul is far too big to be extinguished. He will live on as we see glimpses of him in his wonderful grand kids. So sorry for your pain, Rae, Randy and kids. Hugs to all of you.
