We were not aware of John's passing. We are so sorry for your loss, Helen. What a kind and gentle man, an all around lovely person, John was. We enjoyed so much, his leading the Song Service at Church. His choice of hymns always touched the heart. We remember his great sense of humor. You were both so supportive and helpful with our Wedding and we just want to share that God did Bless us with a Baby Girl in 2010, Lee Ann Rose. John will be missed, but I'm sure he will be leading God's Song Service in Heaven and we will all join in some day. In Christian Love, Micael & Annie Graves

One of my fondest memories with Uncle John was going to Judd's Drug Store after church and getting chocolate Cokes. He was a loving man and uncle. I will miss him very much. My prayers will be with you.

John was my first personnel manager when I went to work at Nibco in 1974. Because of his unique ability to work with people, he was the best. I think everyone would agree. I will miss John and my thoughts are with the family.

What a great brother!!!! He cherished his heritage that we all enjoyed, and made sure that his family knew the importance of passing on that heritage. His tender heart was genuine. Our children still speak of his impact on them. Our hearts are broken but, we will meet again.

Since I met Deb in the mid 1960's, it was obvious that her folks, John and Helen, were a joy-filled, wonderful, loving, Godly couple. We know you are surrounded by the love of those who knew John. We will miss knowing that he is there w/ you, in body, Helen and Family.
We also know he is at rest. May you all find peace in that reassurance from God. Thanks for sharing John over the years.

I am deeply saddened by John's death. There's a new beautiful voice in the angel choir since John's arrival. You are all very special to me. I remember when casual Sunday was started at the church. John couldn't bear to to not have a suit and tie on; he felt it was disrespectful to the church. God's loving arms will enfold you and guide you through the days ahead.
Lovingly!

Scott, Helen and family: The first time i met your dad was when I played the first time at your church, I realize that he was a very special person in the church and with his family, that is when I started to love him. He truly showed his love for his church and for Christ any where you seen him and that is what made him special. He is going to be missed dearly by the church and in this community. Our prayers are with you all.
