LaFrance on-line I am so sorry for the loss of Jhon, he was a great, and fun person to be around. He always loved pulling little jokes on people. The last thing I remember him doing to me was when we were at our sister-in-law, Spring's house. I started to leave, and discovered that Jhon had pulled his car tight up against mine so I could not get into my car. I had to go in through the passenger door. He absolutely loved doing things like that. Jhon will be greatly missed by all of those who loved him. Linda (McPherson) Smith Posted 8/15/07 Dawn, I am so sorry to hear about Jhon. My thoughts and love are with you and your family. Edith (eddie) Hansen and sons David George Michael George Joseph Frickman Posted 8/15/07 Hi Dawn, Just wanted to send our sympathy to you and your family. You always told me, that the reason Jhon took you with him wherever he went cause he didn't want to kiss you good-bye, well I'm glad he didn't take you with him this time!! Enjoy all the memories you two have made for 22 years, whether it be splitting wood together or counting road signs on the way home from work. My eyes are leaking for you.

I will talk to you real soon. love you, Joyce Nicholes Posted 8/17/07 Dawn, I know you don't know me, but I wanted to send you my sympathy on the loss of your husband. The last time I spoke with Jhon, you and he were engaged and he told me what a great girl he had.He spoke with great love and affection toward you. Jhon was such a great guy! I met Jhon about 25 years ago when he was a patient at SHLC. He sure did liven up that place as you can well imagine! Some people should never be armed with water guns!
