To Family and Friends of John,
We knew John only a very short time – a few weeks – but in that time we came to be friends and to especially enjoy his congeniality. There is no doubt he was a fine individual and very much involved in his family life and career.
John is now free of the physical problems associated with his illness and we know he is at peace with his Maker. May you have fond memories and keep him in your hearts as we move forward with our lives.
Fondly,
Joan and Dick Herman
