Jane, Jim and Jeff our thoughts are with you. When I think of John a memory of all of our families at Indian Lake for Christmas keeps coming to mind. I also remember a pontoon boat docking experiences with John, Spud and I where I ended up in the water. These memories make me smile when I think of John. He will be missed. We are sorry for your loss.
Jim, Jane and family,
I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Hoping you find comfort in the love of family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Jim and Jane,
So sorry for your loss of John. May the wonderful memories sustain you. God bless you and your entire family.
In Christs love
Bill Baughman and family
I have brain cancer & my husband & I met John at the Nazerene Well House. John was a very inspirational & courageous man & he taught us a lot. You & everyone is in our thoughts & prayers.
We met John at the Nazarene well House in Rochester. The thing we remember most was his attitude and also the abibity to help others and give them the needed attention tho help with their problems instead of dwelling on his own. We are going to miss John. You have our prayers
Burkey as we called him was a good friend of my son, Kevin DiCrasto, in Rochester, ny, I remember him always as a very respectful young man whenever he came to the house, I am sure he will be sadly missed by his family and all who knew him, my sympathy goes out to his family at this time.

I met John as a driver for Stan's. John was a great driver and a great person. One trip I will never forget, I met John at the truck stop in York NE, we were crossing paths, and had lunch together. As we were eating a couple of reserve troops came in and was eating lunch also. John called over their server and told her he would buy their lunch. He was a good man and he will be missed by everyone he ever met.
Burkey Family - Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I hadn't seen John since we were both kids, but I feel like through your recent updates I got to know what a wonderful person he was. We're sorry for your loss.
I will always cherish the great memories of growing up with John.
You do not know what true friendship is unless you are friends with John Burkey. I have so many memories, John helped me through so much. John helped everyone through so much. My heart breaks for your loss Burkey family. May you rest in peace John. Heaven is a little brighter now.
