November 11, 2019 at 1:22 pmSteine,
it will never be the same swinging into plant 3 and hearing you say “HEEEEEY CALEB”. You never knew a stranger and i feel horrible for your wife and girls. I always loved hearing about your family, and you always caring enough to ask about how things were going with mine (including my dad who worked right beside you)… Until we meet again Johnny…God Bless you.

November 11, 2019 at 8:29 pmOur deepest sympathy is extended to your family. John was a classmate that will be remembered by all as a person of great integrity. “Honest John” is what I distinctly remember him being called. John was so humble growing up despite being the star athlete. This humble spirit followed him throughout his life. I have nothing but fond memories of John. I pray that your family receives peace and comfort from our Lord during this difficult time. You will remain in our prayers.
