    Deepest sympathy to the McConnell Family. John was always a joy to be around, whether it was playing cards, visiting him on Sundays, stopping by the house, he always had a smile on his face and put one on mine. I was so honored and grateful to be a part of his life, he not only put a smile on my face, but he taught me so much. I will miss our talks, visits and our casino trips. God got the best. Love, Jackie (Elchert) Flynn & Mike Flynn and Ryan Reser.
