    Pam. So sorry to hear about John. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I have many fond memories of John and his stories on our motorcycle trips. We had a lot of fun together. He was always in a good mood and never let anything get him down. I remember on our first trip when his bike quit and he literally coasted into Ft Robinson. He was Ok and didn’t let it worry him. Of course that is when he got his first Goldwing.

    Pam & Family,
    So sorry to hear of John’s passing. From our family to yours, we send our deepest sympathy. Even though I didn’t know John that well, he helped Sydney and I through difficult times during Dan’s passing and the many challenges we faced afterwards with the move, the houses and so much more. We truly appreciated his good will and spirit.
    May the beautiful memories and your family strength and support get you through these difficult times.
    Love,
    Luann, Sydney and Family

    Pam and family I so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I enjoyed the limited time I knew John and the time we had together. His demeanor was always positive and treated people fairly. He will be truly missed.

    Saddened to learn of John’s passing. I got to know John in football at Norris Jr High in 9th grade in the mid-60’s, and we were also on Central’s reserve team as sophomores.
    John was a happy camper, always up for fun. I only remember him smiling whenever I was around him. God bless Johnny and all those he loved and who love him. -Scott Yahnke, Central, ’69

    Pam, family and siblings,
    John and I met in kindergarten at Windsor grade school and I was lucky enough to be his friend at ,Norris Jr. High, Central and UNO too. Lots of great memories in Cub Scouts,, Boy Scouts and numerous hunting trips. Never knew. Johnny to ever get mad and was always available when you needed buddy. He’ll be missed and always remembered.
