Condolence & Memory Journal
My thoughts and prayers to John's family. I will miss seeing him wave to me when I drive by his home as he often would sit the garage. John would take the time to have great conversations with me when I encountered him
in the neighborhood--I will miss that too. He was a good man and a wonderful neighbor.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. John aka as most of us knew him as at VCOW as "Mad Russian" will surely be missed. He always lit up the room and knew how to make you laugh and smile. Sending your family my thoughts and prayers through this tough time. He truly will be missed. Heaven gained an amazing person who truly cared about people.

Uncle Johnny was special to me. Not only was he my uncle, he was our best friend. So many good times. He loved to be with people and enjoy the time together. We will miss him. He is at piece with his family now. Maybe they will enjoy some of those good old times together, like at the farm. Love always. Never forgotten.
