John you will be truly missed.  You are no longer here with us in flesh, but your spirit is always with all of us.  You had a full life & a beautiful soul. I will always remember you in my heart and on my mind.  
 I love you John

Charlotte Smith, Tucson AZ


John and I have been friends since high school. He had such an upbeat attitude and was always making me laugh. He got me a job tearing the roofs  off of large buildings right out of school. I didn't have a car yet and he picked me up and dropped me off every day for 3 months -- and  he would never accept money for gas. That's the kind of person he was at a young age: generous and unassuming. John was the kind of person who recognized the goodness in others and would talk of those traits he admired in people up to his passing. He loved his mom and sisters and their kids. He loved his boss Michael and his family. And he loved his friends. Anyone who really knew John understood that he was honest and would tell it like It is.
What inspired me most about John was his perseverance through various health issues in recent years, and his recognition that God was in control of his life. He acknowledged his faith in Christ and that he would someday be with Him in heaven. Well, my friend, your faith and trust has been rewarded! I miss you but I know that I will see you in heaven someday, and on that day we will laugh together again. Thank you for being my friend.

RIP John, thanks for all the great times, I will miss you and your great attitude, always a smile and a joke when we spoke. 

Myself and my family send our condolence to John's family, especially his sister Jackie who was very close to her brother John.
We have known John and his family for about 25 years so they are very special to us. 
We wish you strength and our prays at this time.

Sincerely
Barbara Allen and Family
