Dear Mary Ellen and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time. John was certainly a very special man and I always enjoyed seeing him. I remember and so appreciated when you both came to Princeton to visit with Rob and me. May God bless and be with you and your family. Will call you next week. God bless you, my dear friend. Love, Helen

We just got the sad news about John's passing. Ralph Miller called us today to let us know. We were so looking forward to seeing you both in Portage this summer. We still can't believe his departure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything at all that you need or that we can help you with, please don't hesitate to call us.
Our sincere condolences.....Rudi & Wanece

Dear Mary Ellen, We were shocked and saddened to learn of John's untimely passing. He was such a kind man and we will miss him. It didn't matter whether it had been just a week or several months since we had last seen him, you could depend on being greeted with a hug and his big smile. His presence will definitely be missed in Portage Lake. You have both become such a big part of the community, always present for whatever the event might be. Please know that as you go through this most difficult time, that we hold you close in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. May John rest in peace . Sincerely, David & Mary Ellen Chasse

Dear Mary Ellen and Family, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of John. His smile and presence will always be remembered in Portage Lake. He was taken away much to young as he had so much to share with his grandchildren- but God only takes the best. Our prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time. RIP John.

I am so sorry to hear of your great lose Mary Ellen! We've been waiting expectantly for your return visit to Portage Lake this summer, and wishing you were with us to watch the ice melt off the lake. Please accept our prayers for you and your family to somehow find a way to get through this shock. John was so loved by his Northern Maine friends. I'll always remember his whistle while we played table games, making everyone around him grin. I will miss his smiling presence... Please take care of yourself and know that you are loved!
