Condolence: I was friends with John in Florida. So sorry to hear pf his passing.

Condolence: Rest in peace John. You fought the good fight and now are with a higher power.

Gone too soon.

Condolence: Dear John, I know you are not with us to hear me say as usual I love you. My heart is saddened that you have gone to rest with your father spirit. Ron and I are are going to miss you a lot. Your smile, your kind touch, and your words of wisdom. But I will miss you most of all for your instructions on how to drive my "cadie". Only you could have told me how to drive it and you did so with love. I was in the rooms when you first came in and all I saw was an angry man who had the world's largest chip on his shoulder and he dared any to try and knock it off. I then say you struggle with God. And that reminded me of Jacob who fought with God through the night. I then had the privilage of seeing you after your spirituial experience at the 11th Step meeting. You really glowed. Then the steps came as a piece of cake as you and Ron worked together. You have been a big part of our lives and now God the Creator of Us All has taken you to your sacred grounds.
I know you leave many families members behind and I do hope and pray that they honor your life by following your words and foot steps. I pray for you daughter that she find the spirit that you found and that she may travel a peaceful road. For Judy may she find your love that will bind you to her forever. For Delorse know that she will be taken care of by us and we will be there for her when she returns to Florida. May the Spirit of the Universe bless each and everyone of your family and friends. Know my friend you were and still are loved.
Ron and Balla-Rena

Condolence: I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the DeRidder family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Speed, John, you will be missed.
