One Fond memory I have of John........we were visiting at Easter when Lily was about 15 months old. Lily was getting into everything just as toddlers do. She spotted Pop Pop’s Hess trucks. She so wanted to play with them, but because they were John’s everyone was very cautious. John came home from work and after greeting and hugging everyone he got on the floor with Lily and asked “who is this cute girl?” We explained that Lily was playing with the trucks but were afraid she would break them. John gave her one truck and started playing with her. Her eyes sparkled with a big smile. She made an instant friend. That is how I will forever remember John. Loving, gentle, and caring.
Love,
Lenore.

Uncle John or “Monkey Wrench” as we called him due to necklace he wore with pride could fix anything with moving parts.

My children grew up thinking John was their pop pop too. He was a quiet man who adored his wife and family. The best grandfather that lived IMO. I can still see him standing there with a can of beer at Peggy’s house enjoying the guys and guy talk. He was a mans man but would help anyone. Kids at the hs loved him. 2/3 of mine loved having him there. I can’t say enough abt him and am grateful he was always there for Peggy and her family. Rip John. I will miss you.

Besides stated above John was a good friend with a great disposition. You could rely on John.

John was such an amazing man. He was one of the kindest and sweetest men I knew. He greeted me as I walked up to the last two periods of the day and we had the same exchange everyday! Silly and expected but it always put a smile on both our faces!!! He was that guy...couldn’t help but smile when you saw him!

He and Pat were living here when I moved in, single, a new Homeowner. They were wonderful neighbors. Always helpful, mowing, taking in mail, shoveling/blowing snow... answering township questions, chatting over the fence- always pleasant and always a friendly face. We will surely miss him.

... John ... was a sweet man. Loved his family and dedicated to his work. Through Peggy, I would hear how wonderful he really was.
