“Hello Dan! I was very Sorry to hear about the Loss of your Dad, John. I was very Lucky to have met John when you traveled to St. Louis in 2021 to visit our Jefferson Barracks Telephone Museum. The Museum is possible Thanks to the generous donors that want to find homes for their treasured artifacts. Stories we hear from Telephone Retirees make the time we spend at the Museum fun and interesting. Your Dad was very Lucky to have such a great Son and your Memories are Priceless. GOD Bless!”

“Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I was fortunate enough to meet John when he and Dan made the trip to St. Louis to visit our Telephone Museum. I spent some time with John listening to his stories and enjoying his company. He was such a joy to meet. At 93, he lived a long and interesting life and is now in the arms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I am sure he will be missed by many.”
