I am sorry for your loss CAROL AND FAMILY WORKED with John and had a lot of fun HE will be missed .RIP JOHN MY 🧡
I’ve known John for many years as Chris is my son-in-law. I have many memories from family get togethers at their home and Chris & Sherri’s. His sense of humour goes without saying, although it was very quirky at times… He will be forever remembered for his love of family, willingness to help those who needed it, family, friends or those just needing a hand. I will miss his funny, entertaining remarks and just the great man that he was…. Love Bonnie
