My prayers and thoughts are with all of John’s family. I was a classmate of Johns from elementary thru high school. good friend. Tom Eveler, Houston, Texas
So sorry to receive the news of John’s passing. May the Lord be with all of you. We graduated high school together a long time ago. Doug Schellman, Silverthorne, Colorado
Dad was & always will be My Hero. When I was a very young boy my Dad had big muscles and I thought the Air Force Eagle tattoo on his arm was branded on, like they do cattle. So I knew he was tough. He was a hard worker and always provided for us and took us camping, fishing and on vacations. He was smart and could pretty much fix anything. We never had an electrician, a plumber, auto mechanic or any type of handyman ever come to the house. I wish I had payed more attention to all that he was teaching as he went about his daily life. I did get get to spend a lot of time with him the last year of his life and finally got to repay him a tiny bit by helping do things for him and help take care of him. Rest In Peace Dad. I Love & Miss You as I always have.

To the Wansing Family: I regret very much that I was not able to be with you during the celebration of John’s life as I am away for the winter. I worked with John at the phone company for several years. He was very effective in the discharge of his responsibilities and respected by his employees, peers, and supervisor. He was an important part of the management team. I also enjoyed seeing him at the Y from time to time. I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. May God be with you during this difficult time. George Hartsfield
