Condolence From: Wayne Stefura
Condolence: Hey Pops…. It’s been almost 4 years and the only way it seems that I can almost talk to you directly, is here, so I’ll try my best. Through tearing eyes, I struggle to write this, mostly because of our last conversation on the phone just before you passed. I never had a chance to say how much I love you and how much you mean to me, still to this day! People often just blurt out who they believe to be their hero in life, but I never had a chance to let you know that you were/are mine! Growing up, I always felt that I wasn’t good enough in life and that I could never make you proud. The truth is, you were always proud of me, I just didn’t see it through my troubled eyes and mind. But as I got older, I realized that you were just doing your best at showing me how to be a man. Your work commitment and devotion to family, always made my chest swell in a way that says, “That’s my Pops right there!” At 5’5” and 145lbs, you had a punch that made many larger guys rethink who they mess with (once they woke up). I always loved your nicknames: Little John, One Shot Johnny, Johnny Boy, Uncle John, Uncle Fonzie, Pops, just to name a few. But the ultimate one was: DAD… And I’m proud to say you are my Dad! So this is leading to the one thing I wanted to say to you that faithful day, and that is, “I LOVE YOU DAD!”
I miss you always everyday!
Until we meet again Pops, keep watching over us and keep the euchre table warm!
Love Always
Your Son Wayne… XO

Condolence From: Tammy Stefura
Condolence: Uncle John - you were my Uncle, my Godfather & like a second dad to me. You were so much more - a man I looked up to and that I loved with all my heart. Every major milestone & event in my life - you were right there beside me. It is painful to think of you not being apart of those great moments anymore but, I will always carry your memories in my heart wherever I go in life.
You had a zest for life and everyone that crossed paths with you, would instantly be taken by your warmth, friendliness & the occasional shenanigans!
To Kim, Wayne, Bonnie & families - You are in my
heart & prayers during this difficult time. Hold onto the memories - they last an eternity. Sending lots of love your way.
Uncle John I will alway miss and love you - but now, it is time for you to Fly with the Angels.
