I am sending this message of condolences on behalf of the Parkway High School Class of 1970.  Please know we are thinking of you and are lifting your family in prayer.  John joined us in our high school years but we remember John fondly.  A memorial will be made in his memory to the Bill, Benny and Carey Scholarship Fund through the Leota Braun Foundation.  So wish he could have joined us for our 51st reunion last year.

The world has lost a very good man.  He was a role model that underclassman could emulate.  God has gained a new soldier or better yet sailor for His work.

Carey Craft: Hello to you,it has been awhile since I have had the pleasure of working at Goodyear - Marysville, Ohio and getting to know you. I like other Goodyear Employees (Both office and workers in the plant) join with you and your family in this moment of time as you all are suffering the passing of a Dear Loved One - your Father - John. The grieving process is different for each and every one that is involved. What can help is taking some time to Reflect on those Good Memories of your Father that you have had with him that are stored in your memory bank and do allow GOD to Comfort you...
...GOD Bless...
