I am at a loss of words to describe John. I remember him as someone who was not only my father in law, but my friend. He was someone who always knew how to make me laugh when he was around, and those memories of him will always be near and dear to my heart. His death reminds us that life is short and that only those are remembered who have lived it to the fullest and given back a lot in return. Sure he is not around us but every time we will meet someone as positive and motivated as him we will recall his name with fondness. His physical presence has been taken away from us. But I believe that his memories will suffice. The bond many had with John is everlasting. I will never forget John or the many laughs he and I had. He has touched so many people's hearts in so many different ways. And I thank God that I had the honor of knowing him, being able to call him father in law friend. We will meet you again one day until then we will never forget you. We love you and miss you.

Prayers are with your family in this time of need. Grand daughter of Ethyl and Dempsey, and daughter of Randy Lavergne
