My husband, Tom, and I were next door neighbors if John in Bellevue for 18 years. Best neighbor we ever had. Fun thoughts if John are talking over the fence, going to the casinos for dinner, borrowing whatever he or we needed, listening to his stories of Scott. After Tom passed away John and I would frequently do lunch or dinner just to catch up with each other. Always a fun time. John will be missed.
Uncle John will be missed, and I will remember him always with love. I remember spending time with him in Clarkdale at Great Grandma and Great Grampa Maletta's farm. Such special memories. Uncle John enjoyed the fireworks at the 4th of July celebrations as much as any of us kids at that time did. Uncle John's love for Aunt Midori was so beautiful and special.
Dear Robert, Becky, William, and Families,John was a very special and kind person, who we will remember with love. Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers, and may your loving memories bring you peace.
My Uncle John was a great man, a man of kindness, patience and love. He deeply cared about his family and those that entered his circle of love. I have so many great memories of just long conversations that we would have together while my kids were playing with him at his house or at our house. I'd like to think that, along with Scott, Carla and I had three adopted grandchildren that he looked to as his own (he would often trip up and say give Grandpa a hug.) I really missed him when he moved to Minneapolis with Becky, but I know that he needed the care that they could provide up there. I miss my Uncle dearly, but I know he is in a better place. Miss and love you Uncle John
