Mike, Colette, Ben, Joey and family. My heart was broken when I learned of the sudden, unexpected news of John. I can not begin to imagine the sorrow you all are feeling. Even though we drifted apart, John always had and always will have a special place in my heart. When I look back at my childhood memories, John is always there. Although words seem futile now in the midst of your sorrow, they are all I have to give you. Wishing you peace and healing, Cheyenne Terrell and family.

Dear Chris and Grant, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please contact me if there is anything you need. Love, Yolanda

Mike, Ross called and told me of your terrible loss prior to it coming out in the newspaper. I am glad he did as I might have missed it. There are no words sufficient to say, except just know that as an old school friend, I want to let you know how sorry I am. Things like this are all wrong in so many ways. Hopefully after some time has passed your heart will let you remember all of the good things that you shared with John. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Linda Quillen

Hanson Family, We our so sorry for your loss. Timothy and his family would like to thank you so very much for the contributions in care of the funeral home, which was given on Tim's behalf. What a wonderful thing to do for our family in your time of sorrow. It brought tears to Tim's grandmother's (Karen)eyes when she read it in the paper. To think that you could even think of such a thing at this time in your life. What big hearts you all have. Thank you so very much, it will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Timothy and family

Hanson family~ I was so sorry to learn of John's death. I knew John when he worked at the IU Career Development Center. I always enjoyed talking with him and appreciated his help when I was having computer problems. He was a sweet guy.
