I am sorry for the loss of a very fine gentleman. I always enjoyed going to Cellar Lumber to have meetings with John. He was a very gracious host. I will miss good sense of humor and smile.
Wilson "Mitch" Mitchell - Apr 21, 2014
John was the leader of “the Hiawathan Little Rascals”. As we went through Longfellow, he was always friendly, good-natured, or easy to talk to, and a bit of a trickster. I will miss him. My sympathy at your loss.

Dear Mindy & Family,
Just wanted to express our heartfelt sympathies for the loss of John. Since knowing you both since I was an infant and the close relationship you had with both of my parents, I think back to John’s sense of humor and Mindy, your kindness and warm smile. As the years went by and I had children of my own, we would get together at various events. I always smiled and laughed at John’s chuckle while he commented to me. “paybacks are a bitch!” Referring to the fact I was raising 3 boys of my own. He will always be remembered with a smile and the good memories he shared with my Mom & Dad. God Bless!

Ah John
You have taken you class act on the road. Traveling, cruising, by a Chrysler muscle car I expect, preparing the way for we who will follow. You always were a planner. You were the light for many this side… now taking that special light of yours on. God speed my friend.
We, so many who miss you, will try to fold into our loss your good new work ahead of you.

Shannon - Apr 17, 2014
I am so sorry to read of your loss. I know the pain of losing loved ones and it’s only natural to wonder why God allows this to happen, but I was comforted in knowing that God views death as an enemy and will soon bring death, sickness, pain and suffering to an end. (1 Corinthians 15:26, Revelation 21:4) and even more comforting is that He plans to bring our dead loved ones back to life one day. (John 5:28,29) I hope these scriptures help you cope until that day comes.
Michelle Regnier LeCrone - Apr 17, 2014
