Mike and Margaret and family. I’m praying for you tonight have peace during this hard time.
It is with broken hearts that we mourn John’s passing. He was a special man, intelligent, witty and totally devoted to his wife and family. As Heather’s sister and brother-in-law living several states away, we did not see him often, but always looked forward to “the fun” that would happen when he was around. John and Rick had a special connection, both having served in the U.S. Navy, and Rick wears the Navy sweatshirt John gave him with honor. John is in a special place now and we know he will bathe in God’s light. Rick sends him a special message: “Rest In Peace Shipmate.”
