Audrey, Delbert and family...
.We have lost a good man who in so many ways touched
our lives and our hearts and in so many ways he was like my father yet they always thought they were so different but in reality
had the same personalities with huge hearts full of love. I remember how he would love to joke around with Ashley about
the boys...He'd always ask her each time we came to see him if she had a boyfriend. He was very special to us and will
always remain in our hearts. Thank you Audrey for being there for him and taking care of him.
Love you Uncle John. We will miss you dearly!
Your
Niece, Gwyn Zook
