I was so sorry hearing of John’s untimely passing. I knew him from Anheuser Busch as a fellow machinist. He was a talented machinist and very good worker, all of us at AB will miss him greatly. My condolences to his family and friends.
I was floored when I heard the news. Not John. The man who constantly smiled. My deep condolences go out to his family. There’s no doubt he will be missed greatly, but never forgotten.
I still can’t believe my cousin John has passed. We had some great times together going out to the farm. Growing up as kids, on Sunday’s we were always at your house our my house. We were always stirring the pot, example, when we would go up stairs and drop pennies and other items through the vent which would drop in the middle of our folks card game. Lots of great memories, it was also a honor to be in your wedding. Our prayers go out to you and your family. You will be missed.
Your cousin
Joe
I am shocked and deeply sorry to hear about John’s passing. He was so involved with all of the kids in Johnnie’s and Joanie’s circle of friends. He always supported and encouraged all the kids. As another has already posted, he always had a smile and continually offered assistance to everyone. I cannot get there in person Jane, John & Joanie, but please know that countless people are thinking about you and collectively supporting your family through thoughts and prayers.
I only had the privilege of meeting John on 2 occasions. He was jolly, and had sharp wit. The latter was not lost on me…I enjoyed it. I have been blessed to know his daughter and son in law a lot better though. I can see the indelible fingerprints of a great father in his daughter. I also just tonight met John’s wife for the first time and she treated me like she knew me my whole life. Well done John. Your legacy lives on with the beautiful family you created. To the Wiegers/Rodgers family, my deepest condolences go out to all of you.
