I was fortunate to know John growing up since Steve was one of my best friends. I was even more fortunate that I got to see him at work because we used Sanimax to pick up our bone barrels and John was our man for years. He was an inspiring role model because he had an incredibly hard job but always made it look easy, and it was always a good time getting to chat with him every week. Even having a hard job he would still help out on the family farm all the time. I always looked up to his work ethics and his ability to just be a great person. He was a rare individual and I will miss getting to see him in the store, but I will never forget him.

Dave, Ty and Anthony Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Please k ow were thinking of you all. Tis Christmas in Heaven, what a beautiful sight! It’s my first one here, everything is all right. The crib is adorned with the brilliance of the star, Wisemen have come from near and far. I’ve met all our dear ones, who preceded us here, the reunion was lovely and event full of cheer. And tonight we’ll all gather, in reverence we’ll kneel, For the Babe in the cradle up in Heaven is REAL. I think of my family that I left behind and I pray that your Christmas is as blessed as mine. Please shed no more tears, for my soul is at rest. Just love one another, live life to its best. Yes, it’s Christmas in Heaven, so I’ve heard them say, yet Christmas in Heaven happens everyday. Love, Paul and Tracy Howard
