Lisa, I can’t tell how sorry I am that this happened. I’m glad I got to see him last Saturday. John was a sweet, kind man generous and funny. He was always one of the people I hoped to see when we got off the crazy train of life that I traveled.
My family wants you to know how sorry we are about John’s passing. You have our deepest sympathies. Prayers for the repose of John’s soul and that petulant light shine upon him.
Form Belinda Heimericks, Lois Bess, Lee Anderson and our families
