Good Bye Friend

John was very dear and close friend. He kept me laughing, many times I laughed so hard my jaw hurt. I will always remember my time with him as some of the best. He will be deeply missed but not forgotten. We really enjoyed our discussions sitting on the bench at Boone Run Vista in Potter County.

Co-worker/Friend

I've known John since I'm a teenager. I will always remember the parties he had in his apartment above the country store. And while they were playing cards I was dancing to the music and John would give me a big smile. I've been a coworker of John's for 38 yrs. I will truly miss him as my Buddy. Until we meet again, Rest in peace John.
