From: Vickie Anfinson

I know that you do not know me but I had the priviledge of working with John at TCI Cable TV. I was the Administrative Assistant for Dick Schwan at the time of John's employment. He was such a nice man and pleasant to visit with. He took his work very serious and was very concerned how he did his job. Those were the things that I noticed most about John. I would also run into him at I Keating's and at wedding dances. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

From: Shellie Bower

I had the gift of working with John at I. Keating. He was a wonderful person to work with. He usually always had a smile on his face and a kind word on his tongue. On Halloween, my 3 yr old Son and 7 yr old Daughter came to work to trick-or-treat. My son came up to John and said "Trick or Treat!" John was a little flustered because he did not have any candy on him, but he double checked his pockets, and sure enough, there was a piece of candy there to give to Connor. He made Connor so happy and you should've seen the smile on both of their faces! I have a feeling that many will be able to share such fond memories of John. He will be missed but never forgotten! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

From: Deanne and Mark Clemens

Shelly, Jordy, and Jade, and all of John's family...

It's hard to find words, so I'll just come over and give you a hug. Like others mentioned..John's twinkle in his eyes and his smile is forever etched in our memories and hearts. His death leaves a huge void in so many lives.

He was a great friend and we feel very blessed to have known him.

Let's get out the fire pit and quilts (and chocolate chip cookies) one of these cold starry nites and sit around and tell stories and think of the happy crazy times.

Maybe Sparky can take Cooper out for a 3 mile run, too. :)



Thank you John, for bringing joy to everyone you met! We know Heaven is rockin' with your music shows. Till we meet again...

Our deepest sympathy,
Deanne and Mark
