Condolence: John was a great neighbor and friend, and all of us neighbors are missing him so very much. We surround you with our love - Karla, Josh and Jackie, Caleb and Britt, Karen and family.

For a story about John, I'll tell the one about one time when we asked you and John to watch our house when we were going away. Somebody said something about if the house catches on fire, and John said, "We'll take pictures!" When we got past the surprise, we all laughed heartily, because it's true that that's exactly all you'd be able to do in that circumstance, but John's delivery of that line was so perfect that it just made everyone burst into laughter.

A number of years ago now, John's forging tools were put to good use by Josh and Mark, creating knives that are still treasured. John's guidance on that project, his interest, conversations, care, and kindness meant so much to us and Mark.

John was so smart, witty, funny, caring, and good. He was a good man, a good neighbor, and a good friend. We miss him tremendously and continue to pray for your healing and strength.

Condolence: My dear friend, I was so shocked and saddened the day I heard of John’s passing. Regardless of all the struggles that we all face in life, your life’s story is an inspiration and speaks highly of the power of love. I know from conversations how much you, John and the boys grew so much as a loving family over the years. My heart breaks for you to see you lose the love of your life and that the boys have lost a loving father. My deepest sympathies to you and all the family. I love you like a sister and I am here for you always ❤️

Condolence: At a time when my life was crumbling around me and I felt very little hope, I was lucky enough to meet John. He had a good eye for character and talent, and I was lucky enough to be able to recover and thrive under his tutelage. It's hard to imagine the world losing someone so good, I can't even begin to imagine the imact of the loss on loved ones - my heart goes out to you, anyone who knew him, and feels the loss. Goodnight John, you will be missed greatly by those you knew, and those who knew you.

Condolence: Karla, Caleb & Josh so very sorry to hear of John's untimely passing. Sending prayers comfort & strength to you all. Though we have never met, felt like we had through John fondly sharing various stories of home life as it would relate to our conversation. We chatted daily when we were all in the office & John always had such a sharp & quick wit about any situation that would get us laughing & relieve the stress everyone was under. When specific problems would arise, John was the go to guy who would share solutions. His wisdom, guidance & kindness were immeasurable. Peace be with you all.
