There will never be anyone that will ever replace the love that you gave to me and accepting me as one of your kids. You were the best father influence a girl could ever want. I hit the jackpot when I was able to call you dad. RIP pops! I love you more than I can put into words. You will always be a big part of my life, memories, and some of the best stories.
The Pesek family are sending everyone thoughts and prayers. We are sad to hear about this. The Stolte family were the best neighbors anyone could ask for! I’m sure he is up there, laughing and catching up with mom and dad right now. RIP, John, you were truly one of a kind! .
Mary Ellen, a voice from the very distant past, as FSDS grade school staff, just a word of condolence to you and yours. Family is comfort and will see you through this time of grief.

Mary Ellen, you will probably not remember me and my family. But I always remember seeing you and John sitting toward the back of Church at the Saturday evening Mass at St. Anthony of Padua. I believe my wife Janet may have taught a couple of your children in PSR. Before Covid hit my daughter and her family (at that time with one or two young boys) used to sit with us. My prayers for you and the family as you journey through John’s passing and that he be welcomed with speed into the fullness of God’s kingdom.
God Bless,
Tom Klingert
