    We are so sad to hear of John’s passing. So happy that he had been moved back to the area and was able to attend church several times. He was excited to visit with everyone. Amazing how he remembered our kids names and asked about them. He did so much for our church, cleaning up, locking up, and taking care of the lawns. His memory will live on at CUC.

  3. Bob and family,
    I didn't know John well, but the little I did know of him makes me certain he was a kind and gentle soul.
    I'm so sorry for your loss,
    Rick

  4. It was my good fortune to have visited John just 2 days before he passed. He was very upbeat and as always interested in Corunna. We will miss John
