My deepest sympathy. It is a special gift to have memories that make you laugh and smile! Hugs to all!
My condolences to the Rice family in your time of sorrow.
To a child hood “Best Buddy” since the age of 11. “Salt of the Earth” You will be deeply missed, rest in peace. Memories that I will cherish for the rest of my days. God Bless You.
A good man and a fine fisherman. A true loss for all.
John was a mentor to me during my Electrical/Telecomm apprentice years. He was my first telephone repair foreman and brought me and other co-workers on several camping trips in upstate NY. I’ll always remember his great humor and energy. He will be missed.
My condolences to Donna and family.
