Remembering is Louie&Alice from Madera.  We grew up in the same town, experienced many celebrations, dances (for whom John was a great dancing partner, especially to do the jitterbug) family and friends at same places and now a great remembrance on his anniversary.  Blessings to the family who will celebrate with your special memory. 


Uncle John
It broke our hearts to lose you, Uncle John
But you never went alone, for part us went with you the day God called you home.
A million times we will miss you, a million times we will cry for you, Uncle John.
If only the love we had for you, could have been enough to save you, you would still be here with us, Uncle John.
To the gravesite we will travel, where all your ones will surround you. 
Our final heartache, will be as turn and walk away. 
As we leave you there, Uncle John!
If tears could build a stairway and memories could make a lane!
We would all walk right up to Heaven and bring you home
We love Uncle John and Forever in our Hearts!

John will be missed by his loving family and friends. You were always a kind and gentle man. Everyone was blessed by knowing you. Our condolences to his family at this sorrowful time. Rest in Peace John.

So many beautiful memories of my Uncle John. Some of my fondest are as a little girl, playing in his backyard with Deanna. Uncle John was almost always working on something under his patio. The first words out of his mouth whenever he saw me were “Becky Sue!” Even though Sue is not my middle name, I loved it anyway. Uncle John was always so sweet and thoughtful. I still have all the wood crafts he made for me; a FSU bulldog bookend when I was in college, a wooden paper weight for my first year of teaching and the Christmas stocking yard decorations he made for my kids. Every Christmas those stockings go up in my yard.  
Aunt Vicky and family, you have my deepest condolences . Uncle John will be greatly missed.

John was always a kind and giving man, that loved his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by all. We wish to offer our deepest condolences to his family in this most sorrowful time.

Great Grandpa John was an Amazing & Loving man. I will forever keep the memories of our conversations, having coffee, watching westerns, talking about sports and the way his face lit up when he saw the 4 of us girls in my heart. My girls were so incredibly blessed to have such a Wonderful man to call Great Grandpa. They hold him very close to their hearts and we're always so excited for both Great Grandparents to come watch them dance at recitals, powwows or talent shows. It meant the world to them to see you both there. We Love you both so very much.

Our deepest condolences Vicky and John family prayers  on this difficult times may John Rest In Peace 

Sending my condolences to you Aunt Vicky and the whole family.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  I’m very blessed to have lived next door to you and my Uncle John while growing up. We always knew when we were having a backyard party to make sure to tell you and My uncle John to come over..... DJ request would be “Kansas City”. And without any hesitation  Uncle John would be out there dancing. May he Rest In Peace.  

My condolences to you Aunt Vickie and the rest of the family. My uncle John will forever hold a special place in all of us. Memories of being a kid playing in his backyard with Jennifer and Hazel.  To being so excited to go to the Christmas expo at Washington elementary to see all the wood creations my uncle John created. Thank you uncle John not just for my memories but for my kids memories of you. My kids seeing him saying hi uncle John with a smile on their face. I’m so blessed to have had an uncle so loving and kind. You will forever be missed uncle John. 

Dear aunt Vicky,  sending our condolences, prayers and a big tight hug! I am so happy to be  one of the lucky ones to have a few of uncle John’s wooden creations. Uncle John was always a happy and humble man.  He has embedded his smile in all of us! He will be missed dearly! 💙

Tons of memories..... every summer my dad always made sure to take Uncle John some cantaloupe and watermelon and we continued to do the same and his face would just light up and be so thankful. 💚

I lived next door to John and Vicky on Quince Street. I remember John was always kind and caring. Always saw John and Vicky at church on Sundays after my parents Leo and Elisa moved across town. I was blessed to have you as a padrino when I was married in the late 80's. You will be missed. 

Lots of love and hugs to you Vicki. Just wanted to say it was a pleasure and blessing to have known John. You two always put a smile on my face every time I saw you. He always made a point to go and say hello to me when he saw me at Walmart.  May God give you all the peace comfort and strength in this sad time. This is not good bye but until we see you again. REST IN PEACE JOHN.

He was an amazing grandpa to my nephews and always a great story teller 🤍 May  you Rest In Peace John 

Glad Uncle John saw the Kansas City Chiefs beat my 49ers. You will be missed by all. Rest In Peace.
