We have not communicated much but I think of John and his family on occassions such as this, I want to sent my condolences to Juhn Sumner's family. My name is Charlee Stewart and John and I are members of the same Stewart clan. Mildred Poor was my father'sister. I wilsh we could have gotten to know John better.
So sorry for your loss. I am Clayton Sumner's stepdaughter. Went to school with Steve. This is such a great family. Please accept my deepest condolences.
John was a shining example of what it means to be a truly good man. He set the bar high and was looked up to by many especially for the love that he showed to his family. When we talk to our kids (and grandkids) about marriage, we always use John and Ruby as the example that we hope we follow. John will be missed but the impression that he left will live on. We're so sorry for your loss and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. --Brent Markham (& family)
