To the bethel family you have my deepest sympathy. John was a good man and friend. He helped me for three month to try and catch my puppy that went missing on the woods. He would always bring me and my mom pork salad and vegetables. I can call on him and he was there. A true friend who is going to be missed. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. May God bless you all and comfort your hearts.
