I worked with John for many years at City Securities. I was so sad to hear the news of his passing. I am originally from Iowa, and he used to always talk to me about farming. He could never walk by me without saying something about it. I know he loved to farm, and he loved his family. I pray that all the memories you have of John get you through the rough days ahead. RIP John! You will be missed by many!

So sorry for your loss. When I had not heard or seen John on social media for awhile, I wondered. Sad to find out my worst fear is realized. I am glad social media helped us stay connected after all these years. Great guy! Will miss him.

I was checking John's Facebook page to see why I wasn't getting any of his posts, when I saw his obit. I grew up across the street from him and now live in Clermont. So sorry for your loss.

I feel so bad that I just saw John’s obituary on Facebook. He and we’re friends at North Central. I had not heard from him and was afraid he had passed. We were fighting COVID when he died in March. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. Gods speed John!
