Diana and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can gain strength from each other and remember the happy times and know that he is at peace now. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Diana, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. Here's to hoping that happy memories will carry you through these difficult days. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Carol T.

John was like a father to me, he and Dorothy took me into their family so readily, I had the best in-laws ever! I can't believe our two big strong polish men are gone! He was a wonderful man and I am so glad I am a part of the family! Our love and prayers are with you. I asked John to take care of him and your Mom until we see them again!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
