Thank you for being such an awesome father-n-law to my sister, Sandy. She loved you a lot and always talked highly of you. May you rest in peace and joy in Heaven.
My deepest sympathies to the family of John. I remember him as a good father to his sons with a good sense of humor. A bigger fan of Creighton basketball and the College World Series you won’t find. May God bless you and your family. Rest in peace, I know you will be missed.
I’m sorry to hear about the death of your father. He was a good man and a good father and I admired him for that. I also thought he had a good sense of humor that was passed on to his sons. I know how it feels to lose a father. I will pray for the whole family
