I use to sit behind John at St. Theresa's Saturday 4 o'clock mass. He was always so nice and friendly. I remember one time the exit song was a song titled "Go". He turned to me when it was over and said, "I guess they want us to go!".
My sympathy to the the John Bush family.

My heart goes out to the entire Bush Family. You all were a part of my child hood, with all the boys in my dad's scout troop, and your dad always involved. You are all in my prayers.

To Mr. Bush's family and my Scouting brothers...Jim, John, Joe and Jay...my condolences on your loss. I remember your dad so well and all the work he did with our troop and helping teach me how to use my first camera at the dining room table. Mr. Bush was the man that we all strive to be emulate.
Best,

Dear Bush Family, I didn't have the opportunity and privilege of meeting your husband, father, and grandfather. I do know his son Jay and granddaughter Jessica. Their friendships are a blessing. Lord, thank You for Mr. Bush's legacy that I get to experience through Jay and Jessica. Thank You and him for that eternal gift.

I had the honor of bringing holy communion to John for the past year or so. He was a sweet and joyful person that always had a smile on his face. He was very anxious to pray and receive communion and was so appreciative. I will miss him.
