    Thinking of you all and know you will miss him, but so glad he was a man of faith and knew he would be greeted with open arms as he left you. He always had a smile when I saw him. Sorry to be out of town and unable to pay respect and attend services. RIP Uncle John.

    Our condolences to all of John’s family. As a member of the Ross High School Class of ’59, I remember John as a quiet, confident, calming and friendly person. He was a positive influence in my high school years. I know he will be missed and celebrated by all who knew him. God’s continued blessings to all.
