Condolence: Hello Blake, We were not fortunate enough to know you or John. We are a couple for over 50 years and understand fully the complexities and joys of such relationships life can bring. It was good to read of your relationship out loud and proud, with love abounding. Sending you the best wishes and support for your future, we are, Donna and Rose Mary

Condolence: RIP John. First met you at the Chancellor Volunteer firehouse. You would always ask question on what things were and how they worked. You wanted to learn and be the best firefighter you could be. You were a good man and always had a smile on your face. Your sense of humor and over all personality is what made you who you became. A good man. May you look over your loved ones and once say hello. Now get your wings and show them how to drive a truck up there guy. God bless you and your family still here on earth.

Condolence: Blake, The first time I met John I knew he was the one for you. The way he looked at you, the smile and glow he would have on his face when he was around you. Every time I was around John he would always tell me how much he loves you and how blessed he was to find the love of his life. He would always tell me , " I don't know what I would do without my Baby." He would say that everything he does is for my baby, my Blake. The last few weeks that John had you never left his side, you were there 24 hours a day, everyday. You held his hand to the end and never let go. You two completed each other. John had a kind, sweet hearted soul who would literally give the shirt off his back. John taught me so much. Not only how to detail cars but how easy it is to let your heart grow and to let things roll off your shoulder and never to let it bother you again. He showed me how easy it was to do things, he would tell me," The most important thing to remember is not to be scared to try and to have faith." The faith in god this man had was amazing and very touching. Thank you for letting me be a part of yours and John 's life. Those memories I will cherish forever. I love you Blake. God bless you
