John has just passed peacefully from this awareness after a long period of stroke induced illness. He was Sam's brother, and I knew him to be a very good and kind, man thinking most highly of both he, his wife, Ernestine (from the Pacific NW, and their children... Once I was a guest in their home in Mass., and treated most royally by them. So many are slipping away... and I understand why it is recorded of my Lord, even knowing what He must have known, "he wept," in circumstances like these, for the anguish others would have been feeling.
Good bye, my old friend.

When I was in college I went to John's house for meeting. He fixed my old car many time while I was in college and only charged me for parts. I don't think I could have made it without his help. When I think of what it says in the bible about the place of an elder and his wife I always think of John and Ernestine. They were kind and caring to all people. John will be missed by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May you be comforted by the many memories of a life well lived.
Linda you had a great dad. May your memories of him comfort you.

I also will miss him. He and Ernestine were very kind to me. Truly an elder brother, friend, father, grandfather and much more

John and Ernestine were kind to me as well. The loving kindness and hospitality shown by people like John and Ernestine will always be the glue that binds together local churches.

Sorry to read this. What a loving man, who showed the same face of kindness to absolutely everyone. Linda and Maureen, his daughters that I knew were always sweet, not unlike their mother. What a nice family, so sorry for their loss. May his soul be bound in the loving Spirit that is our Creator, to dwell in eternal splendor, and may his memory always be for a blessing, v'imru amein.

Thinking of my old friend John and his family as I knew them. It is nearly a year, today, or tomorrow, that I learned of his passing. Remembering how not one member of family or former friends thought mention of us, or offered words of comfort in such a manner after Ylva's death, I just wanted to say again how much Johnny and Ernestine meant to me 50years ago, and I thank my God for their kindnesses to me then. Many family and old friends are gone over this past year...
