    Heaven has a place for you. Sarah and I would talk about how fortunate we both were to have found such wonderful husbands in you and Jim. We both send our deepest and loving sympathy to Sarah and both of your families. Keeping all of you in our prayers.

    John Witmer was the best, dearest, friend and golfing buddy I ever had. I miss him so much and always will. I used to joke with him about the clothes he would wear golfing (sharp)... I knew he liked to go to estate sales...so when he would show up looking so dapper, I would ask him, "John, now what dead man's clothes are you waring?" We would both laugh and enjoy a round of golf together. Goodbye dear friend, Dick

    I knew John from work at Braille Bible several years ago. We conversed a lot. I liked John very much and considered him a good friend. Haven't seen him for a long time but I remember him very well. Very sorry to see his passing.

    I have run across this terrible news very late. So very sad. Rest in peace, John. With deepest sympathies, Cassie (Kirkpatrick) Duffy (Daughter of Bob Kirkpatrick)
