Nancy Randy and Scott; We are shocked and saddened at John's passing. John was always the first one to wave and say "Hi" to us whenever we would see him. He would always call when he needed tow or winch. It would always be a good conversation on whatever job we were doing, usually about the best trucks, "FORD". We hope you find peace and know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sorry we are unable to attend the service this morning due to the snowy conditions but we are thinking of you. Adam and Chad Pugh

Randy, Nancy and family. Iam so sorry to hear about your loss. Randy ,Monica Aubrey and Anna are all in my thoughts and have always been a great family. Sorry I can't be there but wanted to send my condolences. I remember Randy being there when my son in law passed away last January. That means a lot especially since there was a huge snowstorm that day. Love you all Dawn

Dear Nancy and family. You're in my thoughts and prayers during this time. It seems I just saw you at your dad's service and of course your moms. I'm still in shock when I read of John's passing in the paper. Take Care. Mary
