Rhonda, Jeff, Eric & Missy I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out about this today. Please accept my condolences. I often think about you all and the good times I had with your entire family while I was stationed in Clay. I lost my father this past May and I know how hard it is to give up some one you love. But I know they are in a better place now. Rhonda, you made the best tomato soup. I didn't even like tomato soup until I had yours. I keep telling myself I am going to call and get your recipe. God bless you all. Howard

I just wanted to let John's family know that I appreciated knowing and working with John. John was very smart and a leader in conservation who worked hard for the farmers in WV.

My sincere heartfelt condolences to the entire family. I met John while he was working in the Weston office, although I worked for a different agency, John never failed to stop in and say hello and I was able to sit and talk with him on several occasions and even got to share our faith especially while he was going through his cancer treatments. I admired him very much for his faith in God and his friendship. Our loss is definitely God's gain in his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all through this difficult time. God Bless you all.

Dear Rhonda and Family: I was shocked to hear of John's passing and saddened to know he is no longer with us. Since our retirement, we still remained in contact and shared updates about his health and each of our respective families. I commented to special friends and farmers that it would be quiet in the office, but when John came through the door it was like a tornado followed him inside. He had such a breath of life that rubbed off on everyone around him. He never seemed to grow old at heart. Although his cancer treatments took a lot from him, he looked it straight in the eye and defied, by shear strength of will, that it wouldn't win. With such a strong presence, he will surely be missed. Beverly

Dear Cousins, We are so saddened to hear of John's passing this past week. While he now rests from his pain here on earth and celebrates with all our dear ones in heaven, you yet have a difficult road to travel as you lay John's earthly body to rest. Our prayers and thoughts go with you all on Tuesday and all the days to come. With love always, Walter C. & Inge Hersman
