Hi Blitz, I read the Timesonline and I saw that your father passed away. So sorry to hear that. I do not remember your Dad. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. Take care, Judy

My thoughts and prayers are with you, John was a friend for a very long time. I'm glad that I had talks with John when I came home from the Navy for many years, and I had him for Sunday school when I was little. A good member of the church. A good role model to follow. The world need more people like John to follow and learn from. Sorry for your loss. Michael.

I am a former member of St. Peter's Church. I went to Sunday School there and took my first child to Sunday School at St. Peter's. John was the Superintendent there and I remember him as kind, helpful and a good person. I am so sorry for your loss. I have lived in Florida for 25 years now. I will always remember John.
