Condolence From: Richard Seivert
Condolence: Margaret and Family, you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of John. However, he is reflected in some of the nicest young people I ever had at Gehlen Catholic. I truly enjoyed the many times when John would donate baseball items to Honduras. He was always sincere about trying to help other kids, even in Honduras, experience what the kids of LeMars often take for granted. He was a great leader, a great husband, and a great father. My heart is sad for all of you.

Condolence From: Bob & Lisa Puetz
Condolence: Margaret & family, Our family will never forget the day we presented John with a check for the Little League at Jason's Memorial Golf Tournament. It was a surprise and the look of shock and gratitude on his face was priceless. He loved golfing in the tournament and we will be forever grateful for his support to us in that endeavor. He will now have a chance to thank Jason in person. We are honored to have known John. I will always remember when Jason died what a friend told us when I said he didn't deserve to die..........She told me.....Jason DID deserve to die because he deserves the best in heaven. Our thoughts are with all of you in this tough time and in the years ahead. The entire Puetz Family

Condolence: Dear Margaret and family When we moved to Le Mars over 30 years ago for my husband to be Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, we were told that John was dedicated to the baseball program of the community. I would like to thank your family for allowing him to be at the ball park so much. It no doubt, took from family time for you, but as you can see from messages it was appreciated! Thank you for being a family that has made a big difference in Le Mars!! My prayers are with you. God will give you courage and strength in the days to come!

Condolence: I was very sad to hear of the passing of John. I lived close to the Brittons when I lived in Lemars up to the ninth grade. Many nights we rode bikes together and played baseball together and against each other in the leMars little league. From what I've heard we was as good a man as he was a kid. The town of leMars im sure will miss him greatly.

I got to work right next to him for 6 1/2 years! John taught me a lot of things about insurance and life! He really taught me to see things in a different light, when I got off track :) Not only was I priviledged enough to work with him, but more importantly, he was my friend! I will miss him dearly! I can only hope that I can service his clients half as well as he did! I will do my best in his honor! Take care of yourselves, and let us know if you need anything!

Condolence: Linda, and all of John's family; I was greatly saddened to hear of John's passing. Even tho he was two grades behind me at Gehlen, I still remember his kindness those many years ago. From the many condolences, I see that never changed.
I leave you with this great Irish Blessing; "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand".

Condolence: To the entire Britton Family, John was not only a wonderful co-worker to have but a priceless friend. He was that guy..the one who would bring you up when you were feeling down..the one who who made it real when you thought you were dreaming..and the one who always had your back when things got rough. John was a mentor who always knew how to put you back on the straight and narrow. I loved him like family and will never forget the 6+years I got to spend with him. He will always be a part of my life that I am not only thankful for but grateful for. They didn't come any better than John and everyone that knew him knew that. My heart goes out to Margaret and all his children. Just remember the memories and how lucky you were to have him in your life. John's legacy will always live on. God Bless with many thoughts and prayers- Brooke and Tom

Condolence From: Mike Eisma Family
Condolence: To the Britton Family: So sorry to hear the sad news. Our daughter Jessica relayed the news to me Thursday evening. John always had kind words to Jess at the diamonds. I know the biggest impact on Jessica was one time when some boys were picking on Jess and of course John came to her rescue and from then on John and her were soul mates in Jess's eyes. Then again John was everyone's friend for life after first meeting. God grant you the peace you will need to get though this especially during the holiday season. The diamonds will surely miss his passion for kids, the game, and life itself.
