Brad and Family,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom & Dad. John was a Great Guy in the National Guard. Being a Cook or First Sergeant, he knew how to take care of the troops. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.
Sorry to hear about John. I served with him in the Indiana Army National Guard at Washington Indiana. He was a good man good soldier.
The WHS Class of 1958 sends their deepest condolences on the passing of John and Lynda. On a personal note, I have known John since eighth grade. I moved to town from the country and was new at Walnut Street. His locker was next to mine and he was so kind and friendly. He made me feel comfortable in the new surroundings, especially, since I had come to the big school from a one room school! I considered him a good friend.
Good friend from WHS. Prayers for all his loved ones!
My heartfelt condolences to the Standley family. I got the opportunity to work with John at McCord/Behr and he was a great person. He always took the time to explain processes and procedures to me and how things worked. He will be missed
