My heart dropped when I learned of John’s passing. Although we saw each other so rarely, we were connected. Rev. Dick Truitt baptized us in a double ceremony at OUMC. I watched him go through pain and healing after the HS accident as a candy striper and friend. He kept me safe from a drunken driver at Cornfest. He always had a smile and the best hugs those rare times we bumped in to each other. John had heart of gold and my heart hurts for all of us who loved him. Rest now, John….no more pain. ❤
John, you’ve been heavy on my mind for the past few days. I wanted to call to see how your dad was. You took such extraordinary care of him, feeding him and talking to him. Now I know why you were so much on my mind. I wish I could have told you how magnificent you are. How kind you’ve been all your life. How much your life matters. And now, I wish I could tell you how much you’ll be missed. Godspeed.
John was such a caring son to his mother & father, as they aged. He visited both of them often. He loved them deeply.
I send my sympathy to Carol, Jim, Bill, David and families. It was a long time ago that we lived along a dirt lane (Green Bay Street) and
what a great place it was to grow up!
I’m so sorry Dave for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are going out to your family. God bless and keep your memories close to get you through this hard time
I think I’m in shock upon learning John has passed. I have such wonderful memories of him from High School. He meant more to me than he’ll ever know. It’s sad when we lose touch with those that are close to our hearts. My condolences to John’s family. I will look for a date for his celebration of life♥️
I was so shocked to hear of John’s passing. I knew him from 7th grade on and what a great guy he was. My prayers are with you all. If possible please let me know when you will have a celebration of his life.
My Deepest condolences to Bill and the family, may you cherish the memories you will hold forever in your heart of the great times you enjoyed together. God give you the strength to get thru these days. Prayers to all that John’s pain free and at peace now. God Bless.
