We said goodbye to John after a valiant fight against a horrific disease. He fought it with the fierce determination of a warrior, never complaining, always believing that he would conquer in this battle as he had in other battles. He leaves behind a wife who loves him beyond measure, his children, Jesse, Alicia, Morgan, Daniel, Elias and RJ who will continue to carry the family torch and will accomplish great things, standing beside each other fighting the good fight. Connor his grandson who he was extremely proud of and enjoyed spending time with. He will live on in our hearts and will stand beside us as we carry on. We want to thank all who have stood with us and who have supported us so completely, with prayers, time, food, money and most of all your friendship and love.
