Helen,
I’m so sorry for your lost. I remember the head cheese that John use to make for me to give to my grandmother, he was a good guy. God Bless.
John and I worked well together. We cut grass at the club lake for many years. When I called him, he would be there waiting on me. We cooked at the Rod and Gun Club events. We yelled at each other but we got it done. We also worked together at the Neffs American Legion events. I could always count on John. He will be missed.
Dear friend, my heartfelt sympathy to you and family.
Helen, you’re so much in my thoughts at this time. John was one of a kind. I’ll bet he’s shooting the breeze with Uncle Sonny and my Dad already! He will be missed. Hugs and prayers for comfort.
Helen, Andrea & Leroy we are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
