    We were so sorry to learn of the passing of John. We will remember home as a kind man that went out of his way to help my dad when his health was failing. John would stop by on a regular basis just to visit or to take him on outing. Our family will never forget the patience and kindness John showed my dad.
    John always had a smile and a wave for us when we would drive by his home.

    Vange and family, it is our prayer that you will find comfort in the many memories you have of life with John and that they will sustain you at this difficult time.

    Dear family of John,
    So sorry to hear of Johns passing. I remember seeing him several times in stores when mom and I were shopping and he always took time to visit and tell us about his family and how and where you all were.
    What a soft spoken, kind hearted man.
    Love and prayers,
    Jack & Donna(Pritzkau)Turner
