My wife, Jean, and I pray for our friend and acquaintance John well. Had many conversations with him, and his mother over the years. God Bless him. Our condolence go out to the families.
John
We will miss your visits, to help plant irises or anything else we need guidance on. Boat riding on the pontoon or heading up to Doug’s cabin for an extended weekend! Droopy and Fritos loved when Uncle John visited and the claw came out! You were always a friend through and through to me, even during the tough times. I will miss your harassing me about work and doing your taxes every year!
Fly high, my friend!! You will be truly missed. Love you more!!
Always, Lisa
