Love you grandpa
Your home was always so full of laughter and so much love. You are one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. Now you are with Margene and all the ones that past before you. I can just picture in my mind you and my dad laughing together. Rest well, Uncle John, yours was a life well served. You will be missed.
Give Mom and Tim a hug and kiss from us. We will see you again Dad. Love you.
