    I so hated to hear this news of John’s passing. I have known John for many years as I am a contractor in Shelby and would see and talk with him on my Lowes visits. John was always happy to help and I always loved to talk with him about our mutual interest in the Pittsburg Steelers. John’s presence will be missed immensely. May God comfort this precious family with His love and peace through the process of letting go of this dear man and friend. God bless.

    Joanne, Linda and Lisa-- We are so very sad to hear of John's passing. As you may remember -- John and I worked together for many may years in Chehalis, Perry, and even some in Shelby. Living in Lea Glen around the corner now seems just like yesterday. I always had such deep love. admiration and respect for John - who to me was always a very good and very decent man, steady and always knowledgeable hand and a good friend. Although we haven't seen John now in a couple of years - in part due to Covid -- we will forever respect and miss him. All our love and thoughts are with you all
