We will miss John every time we visit our cabin. He was a great guy and truly made our visits to YPines fun. I wish I could have had one more chance to see him at the end of the bar. RIP John - you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Delores and Mark.

Dear Dolores and Mark,
We are saddened by John's passing. Our friends and family always enjoyed our weekday pizza night and the Friday fish frys. John always took the time to make everyone feel welcome. On some of the slow nights, we would solve all the worlds problems together.
He will be missed. God bless you both and your family.

John was a wonderful man. My husband Gordon and I had the opportunity to meet him, Delores, and Mark 7 or 8 years ago on our first trip to Wisconsin. He was so cool to us & treated us like family. Our hearts go out to you Mark, and your Mom. Love Amy and Gordon

John was a great man and a great friend! He would usually tease and make you laugh. Yet he also had a sensitive side to him, as was very caring. We are going to miss him very much!! Our thoughts and prayers are with Dolores & Mark and their family!!
