    Katherine, it's Kellie Kenney.. your old secretary from Bedford College Ctr. I was scrolling through the obits because I wasn't around for a couple of years. Anyway I ran across Johns. I had no idea he had passed. I know it's been a while but grief never goes away. Sending you and the family love and prayers.

    So sorry to hear of John's passing. Worked with hm for several years at Regal. Remember him as a gentleman, a quick wit, and a whiz at trivia. Enjoyed his acquaintance and feel honored to have known him. God's comfort and blessings on you all.

    Kathy and kids, Dee, Margi, and Dad (Craig), I’m so sorry for the loss of John (or Johnny as I knew him). He was a good guy, and raised a great family as a legacy here as some comfort. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

    I had not seen John for a long time but I always considered him a good friend. We spent a spring break together back in 1970 and drove up to South Milwaukee, Wisconsin together. It was a fun trip. He was part of a foursome of John, John Tyree, Steve Robinson and me that were going to play 301 euchre games (301 so there could not be a tie). We never did finish that series. But stayed up very late many nights. We often played at the saloon at Ed's Ghost Town. Many fond memories of our times together.
