John was Regina’s soulmate. He was taken too soon and will be missed greatly by everyone. His family would like to thank all of his neighbors, the road crew working that night, the EMT’s and Adena Hospital. His and Regina’s family were there every step of his finale journey. Regina will always be grateful for the support of everyone and will miss him deeply. He was the love of her life. John and Regina both would like to thank a special friend for making Regina go out on a date with him which started their life together. Thank you Marla Phipps. He was blessed to have many life long friends and neighbors that he loved and would do anything for him. John’s wishes were to be cremated. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
