Diane Schletz wrote a sympathy message

“John was such a wonderful friend and a great person to know. I met him at the Minnesota West Coast Swing Club many years ago. He was a great dancer and so enjoyable to be around. John and Jan were a great couple. They were well loved by all their dance friends. I always enjoyed talking with John and looked forward to dancing with him. He will be missed by all of his dance friends and other friends who knew him. Our sympathies go out to his whole family. Love from Diane and Skip Schletz.”
