Although I was not a personal friend of Johns, I have been friends with his brother's wife for many years. Bill and Marie, I send all my love and support at this very sad time, and can only offer that and my prayers to you in way of comfort. I most definitely understand what you are going through since I lost my sister in August. The best thing you can do is stay close to friends and other family members, and keep a strong faith. That is the best way to get through it. My deepest sympathy to you .

Dear John's family, I am saddened by your sudden loss. Shrummy and I became quick friends at work. He was the first to introduce himself. Under my daily protest, as a gentlemen , he would lift the heavy pans to set up my day.He made me laugh daily because he got a kick out of calling me by my nickname. I will miss his kind voice and genuine personality. Shrummy is a true gentleman. I am grateful for having known him. He will be missed. Sympathies,Hoppie

In one of the worst snow storms a few years ago, I slipped on black ice in the parking lot. Nobody was there. I couldn't get up. All of the sudden I felt a hand touch my shoulder and a gentle voice tell me to take his hand. John picked me up and held my arm all the way into the plant to keep me from falling again. He was a true gentleman........
