Sweet John Ed. There is NO words that can be written to say how much you were loved in my life, you gave me a lot of joy and I will always remember the time we had. You will be missed, but I know now you are resting in the arms of Jesus. R.I.P.

We enjoyed knowing John Ed. James knew him for being VFW Cmdr at post 4764. Nancy for preparing his income tax until I retired. He loved that little dog that Eloise spoke about at the Memorial service. He came by one day to show me how he fixed the dog in a car seat so he could see out of the car. A very nice person. Our Sympathy to the family.
