Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Doris We were so sorry to hear of John\’s passing. We so enjoyed his stories and jokes when he visited our office. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Winchester Family, When John was at Beechcraft I rode to the plant with him. We had a good relationship and friendship. He will be missed by all who know him. We must celebrate John\\\’s life not morn his passing. God the Father uses the body as a shell for the spirit while here on earth. John\\\’s spirit is with the our Lord and savior. Just the shell remains. God the Father loves each of you as he loves John. Peace and contentment is the game and Jesus Christ is the name. In memory of my relationship with JOHN.
