7 Condolences
So sorry to hear about John. Always enjoyed visiting with him while I was working at Eddy’s. Condolences to the family.
John was a long-time good friend to us. No words can express how much he will be missed. Our sympathy goes out to his family.
I’m sorry Sue. I’m praying for you and your family. Want to get together with you when I get back. Sending all of you hugs and much love.
Big O was one of the nicest people I knew. Am going to miss his laugh.
Condolences to John’s family during this difficult time. I was a class mate of John and always admired his collection of car and knowledge of the motor industry. I will miss John’s music memorabilia on Facebook. John was a very kind and thoughtful person and will be missed by many. God gained a great guy and we are left with many memories to share with others during our journey through life. Rest in Peace my friend and many of us will be blessed to see you again.
To my dear dear friend Sue and family. My heart is sad for your loss. I didn’t know John well but he was always kind. My prayers and condolences to the entire family.
John and I started Kindergarten together at the Old Pacific country school. We continued through grade school at the Lincoln country school through 8th grade the high school. We were neighbors growing up and spent countless hours ‘roaming’ the countryside. My brothers and I were all similar in age with the Osborne boys. I will miss John. We didn’t see each other in the later years but the friendship was still there. It was a childhood well spent with fond memories.
