And, I enjoyed seeing his wonderful smile again. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May you find solace in the many wonderful memories of John.

I always enjoyed visiting with him at the hardware store or the corner cafe, talking about Purdue basketball, farming, auctions & local news. He will be missed by many. We rejoice that he knew Jesus as his savior & is resting eternally with Christ. Our prayers for you during this difficult time.

When I saw Becky this past summer, she told me his health wasn’t the best and I was very sorry to hear that. He was a good man. My prayers for all of his family.
