I stopped by a mutual friend's (Bubba) house today and we engaged in a conversation about you. It's been a long time that we hung together, and I feel sad that we went our separate ways. We had fun back in the day! I miss you, buddy!! Brian
Dear Jerry and Patti- please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss, and with fond remembrances from the car club,

Bretta,
We are so sorry for your loss. Five and half years ago we lost our husband/father at the age of 57 (Bill Kissel). On Saturday the 23rd, we lost another member of the family, William Bugai (father-in-law/grandfather). It is a difficult time for you and your children, but all those wonderful memories of John will get you through. Love and prayers.##imported-begin##Kissel and Frein Family##imported-end##
Bretta,
I am sorry this is coming so late. I just want you to know that I am here for you, no matter what you need. I love you and your kids like they are my own. You are a GREAT mother and I konw everything will be fine. I believe you have the very best part of John that anyone could ever ask for and that is of course the three beautiful children that you have brought into this world. John has rubbed off on us enough that we will always be living him out in one way or another. I love you and your family and I continue to pray for all of you many times a day.
p.s. When are we going to paint the swingset, it won't be complete until it looks "ghetto fabulous" :)
Lots of love,
Katy Lady and Chloe Sue too :)##imported-begin##Katy Lady##imported-end##

Bretta, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. John was truly a good person and a faithful servant of Jesus. He will be missed by so many people. He touched my life when I first met him so many years ago when he joined the choir. He was a special friend. I won't be able to forget his beautiful smile and how much fun we use to have going to all those Cursillo meetings. I just can't believe he is gone. In my heart I know that he is with Jesus and is looking down on us and smiling. If I can be of any comfort to you, please don't hesitate to ask. God Bless You!##imported-begin##Roberta Skinner##imported-end##
