    My deepest condolences and love to Missy, Robin and family in your time of loss. I have many fond memories of John in the Ducharme/Zamaites household when Missy and I were growing up. He was one of our biggest supporters at softball games, a great joker, and made the best bowl of popcorn for all our hangouts. Missy and Robin, may you carry the beautiful memories of your father with you always.

    Love,
    Brenda Rudzinski

    Tina – I am sorry for your loss. While I didn’t know John personally, I knew him through how happy and loved he made you feel every day. For that I will be eternally grateful to him and will miss him a great deal. He was a very kind soul that loved you more than life and loved his entire family. I know that your heart is broken right now and mine breaks for you. Take comfort in knowing he is at peace and at home with the lord.

    Prayers and hugs,
    Jennifer (McDermott) Detty
