Dear Cindy, John Patrick, Erin…and All ~
Our memories are long and full of wonderful times of laughter, “discussions,” debates, dinners, weddings, showers, trips, and just “hanging out.” We are so blessed to have had the 35+ years with John and your family…our hearts are really hurting right now. But we know John is looking down on all of you and trusts that all will be okay because you are the family that supports and helps each other. Your love for each other and your friends will help carry you through these difficult days…We will miss John so much, but know he is surrounded by other family and friends and watching over all of you.
God bless you…we love you…
Merry and Ron

You will be missed very much. It’s hard to believe that when I was young I was intimidated by the former Marine. I kept worrying that he would put me in the brig if I did anything wrong and yet I can’t remember ever getting into trouble (although I’m sure I did). A loving, kind and gentle Uncle. We love you Uncle John!

Dear Cindy and family,
John was a really good husband, father, and friend……………….a really good man. I love the picture you have posted and it is the way we will remember him. Friday night dinners will not be the same, and John can see from “up there” that Jim has kicked the diet coke habit and will really miss his grill man. We are all better to have had him in our lives and may all of your memories bring you peace.
With love and remembrance,
Marylou and Jim
