Dear Gretchen, Looking at the internet I just found out the worst information I had to know. John have been so kind with me during my visits in Tulsa. The last time I visited him he made an exhibition on his booth especially for me making it a whole Remington Double Derringer show because I like so much these guns. It was always a pleasure to meet him. I liked so much his entusiasm and his kindness. I miss him deeply. I am so sorry. My deepest warmth and be assured that he'll be always on my mind.

Gretchen,You and John were among the first people I became friends with when I moved from New York to Tulsa. Our friendship has continued from 1965. I shared different interests with each of you, but both of you have been great, inspiring people to know. John will be missed and it it will be hard to say, Gretchen, not John and Gretchen. My family and I send our condolences.My help is available if needed.Alicia

I was John's cell phone guy at US Cellular, for the past several years he would come into my store almost monthly. I will truly miss John's sense of humor and chatting with him about his life and thoughts on things.

John was, and is, a very precious friend. I met him throuogh my employer 11 yrs. ago. He would stop in and talk shop with my boss. He had a knack for being able to sense when someone was down. It was those times that he would say "Has anyone told you they love you today?" It always put a smile on my face.Gretchen, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Along with hundreds of other Kansans, our lives were richly blessed through the friendship of John and Gretchen. John's wonderful smile and gracious heart was just a small part of his 'never knew a stranger' character. We will charish him in our memories, listening for him to say, "Let me tell you something…" and miss him in our lives, always sharing words of wisdom.In gratitude and in honor of our friend whom we loved dearly. Steve, Deb & girls
