Condolences


JAMES A urness from Eau Claire, WI

"We express our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to John's children and their families. As John's younger brother by two years, John and I were fortunate in maintaining an energizing relationship in our youth and throughout our adult lives. His observable passion was for family and friends. His conversation focused on his very special grandchildren.John gifted respect and decency to every person - always. He had a jaunty step, a warm smile, and a helping hand. His fishing skill was keen; his will to get out on the lake was unremitting.A special note of condolence to partner Rachel. Thanks for adding joy, life and laughter to John's life for nearly a decade. You two were terrific together, love was evident.As an old saying goes: "Those who trust in God, never see each other for the last time." Sure will miss you Brother, but will see you again. Jim & Dorothy"
