So sorry for your loss, this is such a shock. John was a wonderful husband, Father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He will be deeply missed buy all that had the honor of meeting him. Definitely great at woodworking! I mentioned that I love the garbage container he had made for his kitchen and then next thing I know he had made me one. I absolutely love it, still have it, carted it all the way from Ohio to Arizona. when I come back to Ohio this summer I will still stop by to visit John, just not in the same way

Our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of John. We have been his neighbors since he and his wife moved to Fremont, and although we never got a chance to know her, we had gotten to know John a little bit. He will surely be missed, and it has been strange not seeing him outside in his Raiders jacket with Dusty every day.
