Dear Frein Family,
Johnny was a dear friend & I feel blessed to have worked with him for so many years here at Michigan Spring. He
was a wonderful person to all who crossed his path. I will always remember his smile & his little jokes. It is evident in those of you left behind what a wonderful husband, father & grandfather he was. I'm sure you are very proud of his many accomplishments, as he was of you. He will be missed my many.##imported-begin##Dede Videtich##imported-end##
Very sorry to hear of John's passing.
Will always remember my father Ted sitting with John out back having a beer. Whenever something needed fixing and my father said he and John would take a look at it, we all knew that meant Dad would hold the flashlight while John did the repair. It won't be
the same not seeing him sitting in a lawnchair outside anymore. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.##imported-begin##Patti Elwell Dornbos##imported-end##
Bill & I both enjoyed working with John at Michigan Spring. He was a very unique person and taught everyone that crossed his path a little something. He was truly one of the cornerstones of Michigan Spring and made it the company it became. There are few people like him in this day and age.##imported-begin##Bill & Kathy Fox##imported-end##
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. John was a good friend and a pleasure to work with at Michigan Spring Co. He will be missed.
