Dear family, We are so sorry to hear Uncle John passed away, so soon after Aunt Sandy. They are together as they always were, at peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will really miss the e-mails from Uncle John. I was so proud of him using a computer at his age. Love to all, Vickie (Moreland ) Rezzolla and Len Rezzolla

I was verry sorry to read about John. we go way back as being ham radio operators. I would often talk to john when going home earley in the morning. he would always say that he couldn;t sleep and got on the radio. I have missed seeing him at the last few hamfest in the area. he was most often there. My prayers are with all the family

Dear Terry, Mike,Sharen and family..I am saddened to hear of your father's passing. I met your Dad when he was serving jury duty and immediately became friends. I have such fond memories of John and was always glad to have him come to my office in the courthouse where we would discuss our ham radio experiences and new hi-tech equipment. Also, I didn't know your mother passed recently. I am so sorry for your loss..May God's grace and your memories of your Mom and Dad comfort you today and in the time to come. God bless.

John and Evelyn...My friends from the day I put a beam antenna in the top of a tree at 270 Fudges Creek Road...and it caught John's eye. We kept in touch by ham radio no matter where my job took me. I already miss them both.
