Camille, Sally, Jim, Susie and David, I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. Although we did not stay in touch over the years, I rarely pass the mill and the "rock pile" in Prairie City without thinking of your family's house, (my second home) and all the grade school high jinx John and I would get into with our bikes and those motorcycles. The memories live on from staying in your cabin up Dixie Creek or rocking out to Grand Funk Railroad's, "We're an American Band" in Jim's orange Mustang on the way to work in the Oxbow's hayfields. The obituary was perfect, so there is little to add. John was a truly gifted artist, gentle person, and caring soul whose smile was as soft and bright as you will ever see. I'm sorry we couldn't be there today, but our thoughts and payers are. David and Annie Cary
