We are all thinking of you, I tryed to send a photo, if it did not get through, it is very symple for me to discribe it. It is of Uncle John's smile, between his smile and laugh he could fill a room. We love you, Chuck and Robin.##imported-begin##Chuck & Robin Compton##imported-end##

I am one of the many nieces to Uncle John who was the best at joking with us in high school. My fondest memories are the many hours spent in and behind his boat at Twin Lake. I pray for the entire family every day.##imported-begin##Ken and Loretta Sokolowski##imported-end##
Big Bad John your going to be missed. Thanks for all the fishing trips, the first one in the boat this year will be for you. I will never forget how you were the only man who could get Taco to warm up to me. Thanks for showing us how wide open a mans house and heart should be during the Holiday’s. Where did you get all those chairs. I remember all your boat’s and how you taught us all to ski, the hunting trips, cribbage games, camping, floating down the river, and I think most of all just sitting in a chair outside in your driveway sharing stories. God Loves You, We Love You, God has You and We Miss You.##imported-begin##Jim Compton##imported-end##
Uncle John,
You were always Jim's big Uncle John and I was quite intimidated by you until I got to know your marshmallowy interior. I will always remember best sitting around the campfire late at night when everyone else was in bed, talking with you, Florence and Jim and laughing about all the funny things that have happened over the years. You will be missed here. See you in God's country!##imported-begin##Deanna Compton##imported-end##
Dear grandpa,
thank you for help raising me, ive grown up to be kinda like you. always bickering, although i dont tolerate the drama. i wish you were here so then we can go camping and go out to vegas. i remember you used to take me everywhere with you. You did so many things for me when i lived with you and grandma. you always spoiled me :) and taught me how to pay bills.

Dear Uncle John, You will be missed but not forgotten. Thanks for all the good memories. I could always count on you to discuss the Detroit Pistons. I will never forget the games we went to at the Silverdome where we sat so high, the players looked like ants running around! You were always up for a game of checkers. And you were famous for your Pictionary skills. HaHa.##imported-begin##Al Gonzalez##imported-end##
