I have many fun memories of being at Uncle John & Aunt Garnet's house. On one particular visit, I got to stay with Twila a few days to visit. Barb and Sherry taught us a dance and we performed it for Uncle John and Aunt Garnet in the basement. They patiently watched and encouraged and clapped. I always remember him as a kind and humble man who loved Aunt Garnet and his girls. Wish I could be there to give you all hugs today.
Uncle John was the kindest sweetest man. We had the most wonderful mini wienie roast with just us kids & Uncle John & Aunt Garnet at their house in 2011. Bob set it all up. We all had a great time. Wayne & Sallie, Bob & Bobbie, Lillie & Dick, Lynn, Jim, Peggy & Katie. Will love & miss you always.
Love the memories of them coming to visit my grandparents (Don and Mary). They all had so much fun together and made my childhood that much sweeter. He was always so kind and such a gentlemen in every way . Love to all the family . May God comfort you all .
