Dear Mary and family: Gary and I were saddened to learn of John’s passing. We had the pleasure of socializing with you a number of times when we were included in family gatherings and celebrations with the Higgins family members and, of course, at Christine and Rick’s wedding where we saw the love you and John shared as you tripped the light fantastic at their reception. We hope you find comfort in the many memories you made together. Love, .Linda and Gary Mulawka

Mary, Phillip and Wayne

On behalf of the Wiedrick family we want to pass on our condolences. We met many years ago when John was my coach for lacrosse. A true gentlemen with lots of enthusiasm and a great smile, our families became friends that shared many years of celebration. Throughout the years we crossed passed many times (Even at Northridge where John updated us of your family…and criticized my drive). It is with many happy memories that we always smiled and laughed when we saw each other again. From, our now small family, we pass on our condolences to your family. Thank you for sharing John’s (and all of yours) friendship and the many happy memories and stories.

All our love

The Wiedrick family

Mary, Phil and Wayne. We sent our deepest condolences on the passing of John. John was a very unique man and always the best dressed where ever you saw Him. Hadn't seen John for awhile now and don't know if He ever won with His lotto tickets. John will be sorely missed. RIP John.

Joyce and I were so sorry to hear the sad news about John. We spent many happy times with all of you over the many years at Central, and it was always fun during coffee hour after church to race John to the cookies to get the biggest ones. We will miss him.

Mary and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pete & Max Byerlay are saddened with the loss of John. He was generous and spread happiness wherever he went, especially on the square dance circuit. He always said: “I’m here for a good time, not a long time.” We wish it could have been longer.
