As a 1969 St. Joachim graduate, I didn't know John well, but he was always highly respected. My prayers and thoughts go with John's entire family, but especially; to Elliott (my former kindergarten student), and LaDonna (a dear friend throughout our twelve years of schooling at St. Joachim). I know John will be truly missed, but memories of him and the life lessons he taught us will be an inspiration to all of us.

Elliott So sorry for your loss. As a fellow veteran I thank your father for his service. Stay strong and be well. Garry Byrd

Well John, you now in heaven, where some day we will all be. Though you left us too soon, now you can pray for all of those who are still sick with this disease, instead of being prayed for. I haven't seen you in years, but I will always remember you in school, and all of the softball tournaments we played together. You was a determined competitor, a friend, and a fellow worker at the DeSoto Car Repair Shops. A lot of memories. Peace!

RIP Brother, Had a lot of good times.Fly High

John, You will be fondly remembered. Family, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Joyce Politte Class of '66

Our condolences to the family! May he rest in peace!
