Phyllis you have our deepest sympathies and prayers. John was one fine gentleman who I was proud to call a friend. Linda and I live near Rock, KS and we don’t get all of the news. We would have been at the funeral if we had known. God bless you and your family!
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
