We are so sorry to hear of John's passing. We are thinking about you during this difficult time. He is with the Lord and this is all that matters.
My parents bought the Kailing farm in 1972. John decided to take on the job of teaching me to drive. He drove out to the old hayfield and we switched places. I got ready and asked if he was going to shut the door. He said"no, I might have to jump out!
John you were a joy to be around and will be greatly missed - Luke and I remember going to the U P with you and Judy and when we went out to eat you told the waitress you were skipping dinner because you were the designated driver:) It was classic John!
John you will surely be missed. You were an awesome guy to know:) God bless all of your family that will be telling John stories for years:) ❤
I will always carry fond memories of my Uncle John. We always looked forward to our visits with him - gator rides in the woods, fishing in the pond, cards at night. He was always quick with a joke and great fun to be around. He will be missed by so many.
I still remember the assembly line of blanching many bushels of corn and then freezing them for John and our family. Johns hooks worked great for getting the corn out of the boiling water. Also the Many times of playing cards at Ruth and Wayne's as well.
Judy & Family - I am so very sorry to hear of John's passing. You will be in my prayers. May the memories of good times heal your broken hearts!
Condolences to John's family, may you find peace and understanding. I remember John from the tractor pulls in Hawkins.
To John's family, so sorry for your loss, John was a classmate of mine at Reed City High School class of 67. May the good Lord be with you in your time of need and in the following days R.I.P. John
Blessings to Johns family. He was a bigger that life, open hearted friend. He knew he was loved and admired.
May peace be with you all. ❤️
RIP. Jackie
