As a longtime volunteer I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with John for many years. We headed to Montana, Idaho and Washington to see railroads in 1974; a great travel companion

Condolence from David Anderson on October 16th, 2021 6:58 pm

Diane, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time! Yes, John has been promoted to glory, but the ache left behind is very real. Hugs!

Condolence from John Dumas on October 16th, 2021 7:52 pm

I had the great pleasure of knowing John and working with him on many projects over the years. He always cared more for his family and those in need, than he ever cared for himself. His contribution to the creation and operation of Share Food Share Love Food Pantry was enormous and in some respects, unquantifiable. We thank him for his generosity and dedication and thank his family for sharing him with us.

Condolence from Rick Hoffman on October 16th, 2021 8:29 pm

I worked with John on many projects at Faith Church. He was always there to lend a hand whenever needed. John was very knowledgeable and a likeable guy. To the family I am so sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace, John
