Please know that your family is in our prayers and thoughts. I always enjoyed the times John would come to the John Deere store in Lamar and we would get to visit. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face! May God provide comfort and peace for you in the days ahead.

Coffee Time & Lunch just isn't the same without John around. He loved to give us a hard time and he would definitely 'tell it like it was'. I will never forget the way he would look at me and say "huh!?" after making a statement about something he believed in. We miss you John. -Captain, Prairie Grove Police Department
