Dear Joyce and family,
It was with great sadness we read of John’s death. We count you as one of our oldest friends here in Lancaster County and although we have not seen you much in the past few years we always remark about you fondly when we pass your house. We pray God’s great comfort on you as you carry on here while John is with his savior. We would love to share in the remembrance of John on Saturday but it is at the exact same time another friend is being remembered at Westminster.
Lovingly
Becky and Keith Irvine
May God hold you in His Hands with Love and Peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Joyce,
I am so, so sorry to hear of the lost of John. I have known John for over 35 years. He was the best electrician I have ever had do work for me at Max International. John had the nickname as "Wisbang" here at Max and we all just Loved him. John was an inspiration to me with all his knowledge and taught me everything I know about electric. His teachings help me each and every day of my life. Many times John answered my stupid questions when I would call him at work or at home with no hesitation and he even came in many times to help me on his own time to get me out of trouble. I all but fell off the chair this morning when I opened the paper and seen John’s picture in the obituaries of the Lancaster paper. Such a wonderful person he is and always will be in heart. Joyce if there is anything at all I can do to help you or the family please do not hesitate to contact me. My work number is 717-898-3845.
Thank you and God Bless John my dearest of friends, Joyce the wife of a wonderful guy and the family of John.
