Uncle John,
You weren't that much older than me. But I remember making a Go-Cart at Nona's house to ride down the hill. It was fun, until I got my finger stuck in the Brake. The fun times when you came with us Skiing at Heavenly, or Boating. You have always been about Family. We will forever miss you. Deborah

Our Minnesota memories of John will never be forgotten. Always eager to participate in seasonal activities, whether boating in the summer, campfires in the fall, even tried ice fishing in the winter on a lake near our house in Victoria. He will be missed. Peg & Glenn Overturf

We will never forget the time we spent with you and Barbara when you stopped in Naples,Italy to visit with us on your way home from your honeymoon. We had many adventures, like when we hosted the exchange students from Italy that summer. All good times. You are truly missed buddy. Rest in peace dear friend.
