I can't believe I'll never hear you say "full of cagatha" again. I have so many wonderful memories of you and Aunt Gail and my cousins over the years. You were a part of so many special times. You will be greatly missed and you are loved so much Uncle John. Give Aunt Gail a hug and tell my Dad and brother I miss them every day. All my love until I see you again...Caren

He has been a part of my life since high school. We rode the bus together and he met my sister Gail and they fell in love and ended up married. They were relatives but also our friends and we shared so many fun times together. He will be so missed. I love you. Hug my sister.

Uncle John, you added a lot of joy, laughter, and fun into our family times. You were warm and loving and I always loved being near you. I love you and I'm so glad that I will see you again one day and that you are rejoicing in heaven right now with your Lord Jesus. Manana!

Will be terribly missed!!! He was a wonderful brother-in-law to me. He taught me how to drive a car and always so kind to me. He sat beside me on the piano bench and played the accordian as I played the piano for many years. My sister Gail's husband was always fun to be around, always made you laugh and feel he cared. I will never forget him! My sincerest Sympathy to his children and their families. Love, aunt Peggy/my husband Al Knox, as well loved him and sends his regrets.
