I have many, many wonderful memories of John and his beautiful family.

We have been best friends since high school. We were on the swimming team together in high school and college. We also lifeguarded together at Lake Owasso in  Minnesota.  We were also each other’s “best man” in our respective weddings.  

Our family also had many great times at their cabin in the Rockies.  The 4th of July parties were always special!

We will miss John very much in the weeks, months, and years to come, but we know that he is now at peace, and we know that he had a great life!

Dear Candace,

John was so much a part of the heart of Lacebark Lane that with him gone  there will always be a void. He was so wanting to help people with whatever they needed. He would carry your chair for you to the end of the street where we all gathered or he would bring my groceries in the house. Many times he would just stop by because he loved visiting Ed and Ed certainly enjoyed his visits. He always had a smile on his face. Sometimes when he visited he would ask about my diet and I would tell him, “ ok , John it’s time to leave, and he would laugh as would I. “ I am sure that he and Ed have resumed their friendship and are looking down at us in love. I shall miss him, I already do.  My deepest condolences.

My dear Candace,

    My deepest condolences to you and your family.  I only met your dear husband once, but I am blessed by a warm memory of him and a desire that we would meet again when our travels crossed.  You were my best friend in Bismarck during our grade school years and I have so many happy memories spent with you…I hope we will be able to create another memory together in Delaware or South Carolina.  May you find comfort in your memories of John.

1. John was a good friend and neighbor and we enjoyed our time together.   He is missed and loved.   There are so many memories of John.  He always ate all the tomatoes and never let your glass be empty. He was always giving jackets and tee shirts to Larry!  He always wanted  to help with anything!  He loved to walk Hershey....John was a very unique and kind man.
