We age, we go different directions in life and we sometimes lose touch with those we love and respect. Our occasional contact at Joe Chan's and momentary conversations during those chance encounters always brought back so many memories from years past for Ruth and I. We offer our condolences and prayers for the Bernard family.
Ed and Ruth Sagan
So sorry to hear of John's passing. I really enjoyed our conversations over the years, both at work and outside the office. And, of course, was thrilled to work with John and crew on the Sherm Poppen memorial, 'The Turning Point'. My deepest condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kay and the whole family. I had the pleasure of working with John at Reid Tool. He was a very personable person who was allows there to listen. He will be greatly missed. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Dear Kay. I am so sorry to hear this. I wish I could deliver this big hug in person. Love you. Miss you!
Dear Kay & family,
I was a member of the West Michigan Street Rod club when John was president, he did a great job as president and was a good influence on the club and the direction we wanted it to go, he was in charge of the yearly street rod show that we used to have at Mona Lake park, and he did a great job with that also, when he left the presidency he left some very big shoes to fill. I would see him from time to time at car shows and he would always say hi and take an interest in what I was doing as well as other club members. He was great at detailing parts for his projects, I am sorry to hear of his passing and sorry for your loss. Harry Skok
