John Jr & Morgan you may not remember me but I remember when you were kids living next to the Parkers I believe on Maple Ave. Your Dad was a very kind man. My condolences to you and all family members. Success in all your future endeavors.
I worked with John for several years at Black Clawson and he was one of the kindest men I knew. I bought a used kitchen set from him and still have the table after 34 years. My prayers go to this family on their loss.
It was long ago but I too remember John( senior ) from church and like many
others remember him as a kind man, and the proud father of his first class sons.
condolences to you, Ann, and Morgan
