Dear Betty and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of John. My heart goes out to you and my sorrow and sympathy is so very deep. Betty, you and John had such an incredible relation in marriage, love, relegion, family and friends. John was such a mentor to me, nearly 60 years ago, when I was only 6 years old. I didn’t even know what a mentor was, but I sure looked up to John. He pretty much put up most of the money for me to buy my first bicycle. Granted, as a 6 year old, he made me work in your pasture, putting up hay. I don’t know how long you can keep a 6 year old working in a hay field, but John seemed to know. After about a half hour of either raking or pitching hay, he would send me home with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that I had actually helped him. Lord knows, I was probably a hinderance. He also showed me how to milk cows and probably taught me a lot of other things in life that I have long forgotten, but never have lost the priciple of those lessons. John was a very special person and always tried to instile the highest potential in all that he came in contact with. I will miss John, but will never know how much you and your wonderful, and beautiful children have lost and will miss in John’s passing. John was probably a greater person than any “one” of us will ever know. John, more than likely touched more lives than any of us realizes. They may have only been little touches, but they made huge impressions on our lives. John, I will miss you! Betty, Elona, Ronda, Jay and Delpha, you are in our prayers. With our deepest sympathy, George & Sharon Barnes
I have never cooked my corn on the cob since Uncle John showed me how much better it is uncooked!
My love and sympathy to you all, Sherry
Uncle John,
You will always be in our hearts and remembered with love and smiles. The years I tagged around behind you in the barn and pasture while Mom was in Aunt Betty’s shop getting her hair done are memories and experiences that have helped formed me into the person I am today. You will be missed so very much and I we look forward to the day that we are all reunited in heaven. Until then, Happy Trails.
With love and fond memories,
Kathy, Kaitlyn, Krissy and Torie
John was always very special to me. Not only did we share the same first two names, but he always had a smile when we met which I felt was just for me. When I was younger, he always greeted me with the poem, —
John, John, the Piper’s son.
I can recite it all to this day, and almost never think of him, without thinking of that poem. I know I don’t miss him as much as his family, but I do miss him, and loved him.
I was so sorry to have missed John’s service, as I simply didn’t know about it until it was past.
Condolences from both Judy and I, and Betty, please know that we love you, and hope you pass our love and condolences to your children. Love, John and Judy. From,
– John, John, the Piper’s son.
Jesus, Jesus the sweetest name I know. John was a living example of the Love and Peace of our Lord Jesus. His precious spirit, eyes of blue and that smile always on his face is imbedded on my heart. John will be missed here on earth yet heaven rejoiced upon his return to our home sweet home. Until we meet again, may the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you Betty, Ronda, Elona, Jay and Delpha.
