The day John married my sister Florence I was given the task to go get the keys to the old social hall in Heber so they could decorate for their reception. John offered the key to his car for me to use, that car was the only one in town like that, it was bright red and had fins on the back, the kind of car every teenage kid in those days wanted to be seen driving, and everyone on the street stopped to look at. To make things better the key was at the house of one of the popular girls my age, I was so proud as she answered the door with me standing there with that red car behind me. From a foolish teenager to an old man with gray hair, John has always made a difference in my life with his example of endless service to others, always going out of his way to help someone else, his community, and his church. With his life of service and his unwavering testimony of His Father in Heaven, his Savior Jesus Christ, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I think he has made a difference in the life of everyone who has known him. I know Carolyn and I will miss him, but will still feel his influence in our lives.
