We went to school together. Rest in peace .
John will be missed by Jon and I. He was a wonderful neighbor and we will miss his smile and his joy for life. He was a loving father and a caring person. We will miss all the fun we had in the summer in our pool, our backyard and his camp fire in his backyard. Mom and dad Rothwell you raised a great son and I am so sorry he left us so soon. God bless the family. You are all in our thoughts.
