Shirley and family, so sorry to hear of John's Passing. I had the privilege of working with John for 20+ years at Penco (many lessons learned). During every interview that we did together he would tell the applicant that the two of us will be doing the interview because two heads are better than one head even if they are cabbage heads. He was quite the comedian.
Again, sorry for your loss.

My heart was saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful man and neighbor. I will never forget him.
Be at peace, enjoy what the Lord graciously provides. Heaven and our loved ones will wait for us.

Shirley and family, sorry to hear of John's passing. We go way back - to 1st grade in 1940 and many fun times on Pine Street. He was my first boyfriend at age 8.
And voted Best Dancers in SHS 1952 yearbook. Smile because he lived.

Love, Gerri Myers Ross
