There is a lot of good things you can say about John. He was a good friend, co-worker, union president, and a great man. I worked with John over 40 years. We always had something to talk about when we had the chance to visit. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled.
RIP old friend.

I worked with John for over 30 years in the Powerhouse at the Valliant Paper Mill. John and I got alone will. Doing the early years we fished and camped together and even went on a trip. During the later years, John visited our church in Valliant. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of John!

I worked with John for many years at the mill in Valliant. We definitely had some lively conversations and I enjoyed visiting with John every chance I had. My favorite memory of him was his "briefcase" that he carried to work daily: it was made of many layers of Braum's handled sacks - he simply added a new sack over the older, worn sacks. John was an amazingly smart man who was a friend to me and countless others. He has been missed from the mill since his retirement and he will be missed from this life even more.
