I loved him dearly and was wonderful neighbor to my family in Arcadia. He and his wife, Joyce and their oldest son John lead me to Christ and my life changed so incredibly good. Life was worth living after I also became a Christian. John sr’s family was a wonderful Christan Famy to model your family after! I am so proud to say I knew him and is greatly loved by me , Laura Billington Disselkoen.
