June 28, 2022 at 6:49 pmDear Varga Family
My Wife Robin and I were so saddened to read of Mr. John”s Passing.
I had the privilege of knowing your Dad for nearly 40 years, and loved when I got to take some supplies from Williams & Hibler over to His shop.
Your Dad was, as you all knew, very talented, and his work for Pella Windows added proof to His skills.
Later in life, He became exercise compadres with my Mom & Dad before they each passed away.
I know these word fall short of easing your pain during this period of mourning, so please know we will have in Prayer before our FATHER in Heaven, asking HIM to provide the Comfort through Christ Jesus our LORD HE alone can.
GOD Bless you all
Paul & Robin Wallace

June 29, 2022 at 12:37 amDear Karen, Siblings and grandchildren. My husband Donald and myself were neighbors and good friends with Lill and John. We spent many holidays there at the pool and laughing through many evenings playing very competitive card games. My husband has died and I’ve moved away but the memories of our times together are precious. John built a beautiful desk for me and I cherish the beauty and quality of his work. M
I pray that you all are comforted by knowing how much they were respected and loved . I thank God for allowing us the good fortune to have had them in our lives.
Blessings of love, joy and peace to your family.
