So many memories. SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES! A true one of a kind and never to be replaced. I’m thankful for every laugh, joke, story, dinner, I ever had the privilege of sharing with him and the family. Outstanding individual. The world is a little less without him in it.

Dear Allison and Jonathan, I am so sorry to hear about your father. John Michael was a dear friend of mine for almost two decades, though I called him Mike. He was one of the most caring, loving people I’ve ever known, always there to give a helping hand or a kind word. During our many talks over the years, his favorite topics were both of you and Nora, the light of his life. His eyes lit up whenever he talked about any or all of you. He loved you so. I learned much about stumbling through life from this man, compassion, tolerance, acceptance and patience. He was a wise man and a true friend. I feel lucky to have known him. Carol Styers
