From Harlow Rud: Nellie, my sincere condolences to you and your family. Over the years, John and I enjoyed hundreds of rounds of golf and "beer days" together. Whether the discussion was politics, our work and business lives, our family or more recently our losses, his companionship was warm and his advice sound. He was a good friend and I have nothing but the most fond memories of our time together. Mostly, take comfort during these times from the knowledge that John's life was well lived and full and be thankful for the many, many years of fond memories together. Best wishes and stay in touch, Harlow. From Rick & Linda Milliken: Nellie and family, our sincere condolences. It was a privilege to get to know John, even a little bit. His kind, good nature made him very easy to like. We will remember him as what he was, a gentleman.

Blessings to all as you grieve the loss of someone very special.
