Nancy & family,
Please accept My sincere condolences and prayers for healing of your heart sorrow.
Nancy, I was so sad to read of John’s passing. Lots of great memories at the lake, loved the banter at the kitchen table between John and my mom and dad. Thinking of you and the girls at this difficult time.
Nancy , I was sadden by the news of John’s passing. I always felt like John was a brother .
So many of our friends were from a single male family. So we were a band of brothers. John Herman, Patrick Schommer, John Phillips, Mike Wagner, and more. Good friends and Oakville Bros. John was a groomsman on our wedding day. Both of you are in my prayers.
