John was everyone's friend! He always had a smile and his unforgetable laugh! When we were his neighbor I'd bring him fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies personally delivered by my daughter, Natalie. He will be missed but not forgotten.

So sorry to hear of John's passing, Shirley Tiffany called us. As a Seeley girl, I have very fond memories of John and the "Good 'ol days". We had a good visit last summer when we were vacationing in the Drummond area. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Newman and Betty (Ploof) Benson.
