Such a precious man and family. As a teen graduating from high school, J.J and Bridget provided me with two graduation parties that my family could have never afforded. One for family, the other for my church friends. Much love forever. Cynthia McConnell Skidmore
Dear Bridget and Family,Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of J.J. Fresh in my heart and mind are the many days and fellowship times we spent with you at the Ravenna Assembly of God and offsite activities. In sympathy and deep understanding.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Leet family. I have very fond memories of the farm. The Leet family introduced me to Mexican restaurants, taking me along with them after church. I still make my burgers with garlic salt just like J.J. because his were the first home cooked burgers I ever liked. I'll never forget standing at the old kitchen sink while J.J. washed the gravel out of my elbows when I wrecked my bike riding down the hill by the lake. Thank you for always welcoming me into your home and for treating me like family.
Liz I'm so sorry for your loss
Judy thank you for your thoughts. I just found a picture of you and my dad today I know he loved you greatly. You were a big part of his childhood. Love Heather
Dear Bridgett and family,It is of great sadness that I hear of JJ's passing. As his neighbor and childhood friend, it leaves a kind spot in my heart. His parents (Jim and Martha) were my second parents and thus my second home whereJJ and I would help with the farming, drive tractors, birth pigs, jump in the hayloft and so much more of what childhood was really like in the 50's and 60's. He will always be a big part of my childhood memories. My sincere condolences 🙏🙏 so sorry I will not be able to attend his service. FondlyJudy (Garrett) Holland
Dear Bridgett and family....I am so saddened to read about JJ's passing. He was one of my first friends when I moved from Kent to Garrettsville during my senior year. So befitting as we shared the same birthday. He will be missed. Prayers and hugs.
