Dear Aunt Gracie and Family,
I wish I could be there at this time, I will continue to hold each of you up in prayer, for peace,and healing at this time. John will always be remembered by me as a fellow godparent to Britney, his big smile, the “Denno Shuffle” and his pink jeans he wore to school one day and was suspended for doing so. He is reunited with those who have gone before us and Janice is probably giving him a trim and a shave right now.
CJ’s won’t be the same without you. Rest in peace, John.
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of John. For his mother who has a special place in my heart . . . “Be strong as I know how much you will miss John”.
God bless you, your family and friends.
Danny, Sheila and Jody:
Our thoughts are with you during this time. May God grant you and your whole family comfort and peace in the days ahead.
My respects and condolences go out to John’s family. I know he will be missed.
To the Fielder family: I think this passage says it all: “If tears could build a stairway & memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven & bring you back again”. I’ll miss you John.
Jody and Danny

Will probably see you guys in the spring.
Again we will say a little prayer for all of you.
Sincerely Dick and Marie Mara
John was the sunshine of many days at the shop on 15th. He came by many days on his walk to Quicktrip when business was slow and always had a nice “hello Steph” for me that always made me smile.
We were classmates and he will always be remembered.
We are sorry to hear of the loss of John. We all have our own personal memories of him that we will keep dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with the all of you.

Aunt Gracie and family,
My heart goes out to all of you right now. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for the road ahead. I’m truly sorry I could not be there to hug you and tell you in person. I did try. I can tell you a couple things I remember.. I think John, Dave, Cyn and I saw every Clint Eastwood movie they made back then.Also in Mcgregor days when ever they came up we would usually get into some kind of trouble. Mostly we would start a war with our Indian friends.. The Blackdeers. Then we were known as “mexican mush’ and they were the “pesky redskins’. After they left everything went back to normal until the next time.My love to all. God bless
Grace & Family,
Our hearts go out to you and the family upon hearing of the passing of John. Wishing you strength, peace and prayers during this difficult time. Remember that the memories of him will always be with you.
