To the family and friends, Beautiful memories of both John and Reva. John shared an office with me when I was an assistant officer at the corps(church). John proved to be a humble man whose love for God was evidenced in his words and actions. Know that death is not final for the Christian. Grieve as people with hope of eternity in Heaven as our friends Reva and John.
Many wonderful memories of John at The Salvation Army….your love for God and the Men's shelter were 100%. RIP my friend, May god be with your family at this time.

Pamela, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your daddy. He played such a large part in my church life. You and yours are in my prayers.
Sending our sympathy to you, Pam & family, we thought so much of your father! He was such a special person to all at the Salvation Army and worked so hard in many ways. We learned a lot from him & enjoyed his company. God Bless you! We enjoyed being with both your parents in London & also at commissioning. We have many good memories & they were both kind to us.
Losing John is like losing a father,I spent so much time with him at church and his home with Reva and Pam.He taught me to play or attempt to play an instrument,singing groups,youth groups,etc….he basically saved my life.Wasnâ??t all peaches and cream I gave him a run for his money lol I was so onary,but his love for all the Army kids he just smiled and loved us that much more.Your home now John and Iâ??m sure Reva,Ken,and Ruth were right there with open arms waiting for you.R.I.P Iâ??ll miss you, Vicki Newingham Malerich
