To John’s family:
Charlene and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to each of you. John and I went through public school together, and although we didn’t see each other often through the years, we had wonderful chats about old times when we did meet. He was always a gentle and kind man, and I know he will be truly missed.
May he rest in peace and may God give you comfort at this difficult time.
sincerely
Don Oesch
