I have such fond memories of my Uncle John. He would make our whole family laugh at get-togethers. He was one of a kind. I'm so sorry Aunt Julie.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing.
I went to school with him at Linwood and he was a good friend.
I can remember how fun and funny he was!
I never saw him again after we graduated, but would ask family members
about him. I know he will be greatly
missed. Blessings to his family, Linda Tinberg/Freeman.

John was a big bright spot in our family. I am reminded daily of something funny or interesting he had to say. In his final months, I took comfort knowing he was in the capable hands of his devoted wife Julie. I am finding great comfort in reading these nice notes of support. John's middle sister...

I am very saddened to hear of John passing, although we went our separate way, I thought about John often and will always remember the great memories of our twelve years of school together and the many wonderful times I spent with John and David at their home. I will always cherish that time and our friendship. Be at peace John, love you.
