So shocked and saddened at the news of John's passing.  Dianne, hoping the happy memories will eventually surpass this terrible accident.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dianne and Jon & Daniel,

I have thought of John every day since I first heard the news.  Lisa and I were stunned and send our deepest condolences.  Know that every opportunity I had to work with John was enjoyable and I will always remember all we did together at M.P.D.

My love, my love, I will miss you with every fiber of my being. My heart aches for you. Love your wife.

John was a great friend to my dad, Don Petro.  I shared many laughs with John and I still remember the kind words he shared with me when my dad passed. My sincere condolences to your family.

I am sorry I could not attend John's memorial.  He was a good guy and always greeted me with a big smile and left me with one and I think that is the greatest gift that one human being can ever give another. Thank you for sharing him with us.  He will be missed.

John was a teacher, mentor, co-worker and friend. He loved life and his family gave him joy. He is missed

"Let us endeavor to live that when we die even the undertaker will be sorry." -Mark Twain
It was obvious from your funeral today that was how you lived your life. You touched so many lives. You will be truly missed. Rest easy Brother.

My sincere condolences and deep sympathy for your loss.  Memory Eternal.

I knew John as a loving father and inspirational leader in the Y Indian Guides program.  My sons, Patrick and Colin Hoernig, participated with Jon and Daniel in all so many wonderful father/son activities in this unique program that grew under the generous efforts of leaders like John.  John was unique in his caring strength and sense of love and purpose, giving many of us fathers the inspiration to step up and take on the many roles that formed the program into the great fun life formative experience it was.  I have thought of John so often since those years, and a smile always comes to me.  I am sure many of us love John and want to express that with his family.  Thank you John, Dianne,  Jon and Daniel.

rip john was a good friend we went to ambridge grade school in gary ind  plus I known him while he worked on gary police dept and Merrillville police dept

I'm very saddened to hear of your family's loss. I worked with John on the Merrillville Police Department and have many fond memories of him. John really was a great guy. You are all in my prayers.

My condolences to the family. I knew him as our IGC he will b missed

John was a childhood friend of mine growing up in Ambridge.  We lived 3 houses away from each other and spent most of our preteen years playing , fighting, racing to school together and getting into trouble. While he was a Merrillville cop he always kept an eye on my parents house in Southbrook and even checked in on my family in the hospital when we had a car accident while visiting Merrillville. Feel like a part of my childhood has left with him. John will be missed greatly.My thoughts are with his family.

I never knew John as an adult because I moved from the neighborhood too soon. But I remember him as a youth and would have expected him to grow up into a stand-up guy. The things that have been said and written about him are testimonies to that outcome. To the Westmoreland and Previs families I offer my deepest sympathies.

Dianne & Family, We are sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Wish we could be there with you. Kenny & Marie Bean

I hope you will understand, although these words are few. Our sympathy is sincere. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Your loss is shared by many who know your loved one. And our loving thoughts are with you. Much more than words can say. These are our words to let you know, How very much we care. May you feel the strength of God. As we hold you close in prayer

Dianne,Jon,Daniel,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences.John was truly a great friend and we will never forget him.

Our deepest condolences to the family. John and I were great childhood friends in Gary. I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing.

Dear Dianne, Jon, and Daniel:  I am so sorry for your loss.   John was always pleasant and friendly.    He was always willing to help and pitch in.   Whether it was the fantastic food tent at the Culver Cross Country meet or the food cookout fundraiser for the Pines Ski Patrol.  It was awesome to see John ski in a full feather headdress when he was a leader in the Indian Guides.   I'm grateful that I and my 2 kids, Matt & Amanda, had the pleasure to ski with John and his boys out West at Copper in 2010 and again with him in Utah in 2012.    What a fantastic man.     May God grant you peace during this tragic and sad time.

My deepest condolences to the Westmoreland family.  John was definitely an asset to the IGC and he will be missed at Ameristar. You will be my thoughts and prayers.

Dianne, Jon and Daniel,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. He was a good person and the depth of his love for all of you was special.

Sincerly,

Mrs. Westmoreland and Family:  I have been blessed to work with John the last 8 years.  During my training in 2008 John mentored me during my transition into my new position of Investigator with the Indiana Gaming Commission.  There have been so many times I've had to call John with questions about training, as he was the go to guy for these types of questions. He was just a great man to work with and loved by so many.  Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss, and know I and so many others will be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. My deepest sympathy....Larry
