Dear Elsa and family -
Bob and I were so saddened to hear and read the news about John passing through the experience of death. He is now in Heaven where someday we will all join him along with many other family members who have gone before him. We so enjoyed the monthly luncheons when we would see you and John. We liked when we sat near you both, talking to you, getting to know you better and learning about your daughter and grand-daughters. I have a few pieces of "Huberhaus Pottery" which I cherish and love! I love how John signed every piece with his initials "JH, Huberhaus Pottery, the year and a fish symbol". God give you strength and peace for the days ahead. Our hearts, our prayers, our love are with you! With deepest sincerest sympathy.
In Christian love,
Bob and Kim (Weinhold) Snyder

I will always consider John my mentor and teacher in my walk with Jesus Christ. The first Bible study I attended was presented by John and started me on my path to using my Spiritual Gifts for my church and family. Thank you John for all you have done for me and many many others in our pathway to eternal life with Christ.
