John, just talking to you again as I did fairly often via Facebook. It’s good you’ll be eating Christmas dinner with your family this year.
You asked about a Thanksgiving meal and I gave the information/suggestions I knew about. I don’t know if you attended or not. But now
we know your whereabouts, happy again and blessed to be surrounded by your parents & Amy & Charley.
David, Lynn & Jean I extend my sympathy to you and your families.
Sincerely, Betty Mullet
Oh, dear John. I just found out today that you have left us for better place. It breaks my heart that Christopher and I and our lil one and our puppy you love so much will no longer get to visit. You have helped Christopher and I with so much. You sold us your car and offered to help us almost pay off the lean. And you also helped us with information on getting a place. Fly high John you will certainly be missed and most certainly never forgotten. ❤️🙏♥️ prayers and comfort sent out to John’s family

I was so sorry to hear about John’s death. He was a great neighbor and was always willing to help. He and my late husband, Dale had many chats and John was always asking me if I needed assistance (although he was limited in what he could do) and I appreciated him so much. He was such an intelligent, caring man. May he rest in peace.
