Our prayers are with the family.
We had the distinct pleasure of knowing John from the first day he came to the Extended Care Facility at the VA Medical Center. We assisted in the VA worship services and enjoyed his participation when he was able to attend. Mack visited with him as recently as this past Sunday and they enjoyed a good fellowship. He was a fine man who will certainly be missed. We extend our most sincere sympathy to the family.
