  7. Linda, Laura and I are sorry to hear about John. You have our deepest sympathy and you will be in our prayers. I recall the last time I say you and John, when I was working on a project in Danville. It was great to visit with old friends, catch up on what has happened over several years, and recall some great old stories. Again, you will be in our prayers. Larry and Laura Smore

  10. Linda, Dick and I offer our condolences to you and your family. John was a very special man. We met him at church one day several years ago and from then on we always sat together at mass each week. John and I would talk Catholicism and he and Dick would share sports stories about Ohio State and Kentucky. He was a pure joy. We have greatly missed him throughout the pandemic. If we can be of any help don’t hesitate to reach out. Our prayers for John and you and your family.

  11. Linda, our condolences go out to you and your family. John was one special man. Dick and I met him at church several years ago and ever since then we would sit together at 4:15 mass each week. He and I would talk Catholicism and he and Dick would catch up on the latest Ohio State football game and Kentucky basketball or football. Often he would talk proudly of his children and grandchildren. He was so proud of his newest grand baby boy. He was a joy to see every week. We’ve missed seeing him during the pandemic. Linda, if you need anything please feel free to call us as we would like to be of help. We could all use a helping hand at times. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family especially tomorrow as you say goodbye to John.

  12. I want to say how sorry I was to hear about John’s passing. Both John and Linda have always been such wonderful friends to my parents, Jack and Jackie Lively. I’ll remember John’s humor and laughter. He always made me smile❤️

  13. I am sorry to hear of John’s passing and offer condolences to his family. He was a friend of my family. I remember my dad talking to John on the radio all the time. John was friendly to my brother and me when dad would bring us kids to radio group lunches at Fazolis or dinners at Shoneys. He encouraged me as I studied civil engineering and he was supportive to me as a young man when I had a cancer scare that John himself had also gone through years before I knew him. I am forever grateful for his friendliness, positivity, and support during a difficult time. Thank you, John. God bless.
