    How can I write a condolence for someone that I love as much as I do John. I won't speak of him in the past tense because my faith taught me to believe that he is happy in the loving arms of our Father in heaven. But I can say that I'll miss him every day. My wife and I grew to be more like family than friends with John and Kay, and John and I travelled everywhere together. There won't be an occassion where his absence won't be felt. Rest in peace, my friend, until we are together again one day in heaven.

    John was one of my dad's best friends. I remember his smile, his laugh and the great impact he had on all around him. He was a kind man who even thought enough to buy my kids gifts the day they were born; my son Timmy always talks about him. Kay and family - please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May John rest in eternal peace. Kelly, Tim, Timmy and Lilly Misencik
