Dear Cjeryl & Family, on behalf of all the Brady Bunch, we offer our most sincere condolences on John's passing. Jack as we preferred to call him was a very long time class mate & sidekick to our older brother Bob & good friend to all our family. We cherish many warm feelings & remembrance's of times past growing up in Iowa. Jack was always so cheerful and friendly and full of stories. He was our connection to the past as he kept in constant contact with the many friends & family back in Iowa over the years. & he shared many stories of those times. I for one will now be forever frozen in time ageless, every July for the past 40 years or so Jack would call ands wish me a happy birthday and really make my day. He had a great memory and could remember all the birthdays of my sisters and brothers. '''' always smiling, cheerful He had that magnetic personality that drew people to him. Over the years when in Iowa, I would buy a fifth of Templeton Rye hoping to share it with Jack &Cheryl but somehow time got away from us. We will go on and cherish the memories of times past and he will forever be a part of our family memories. SLAINTE!

He was larger than life to our boys, they would giggle and plot their next trick to play on John! They loved his exaggerated outrage, his humor, his largeness, and felt his kindness and generosity so deeply. Heaven has a new rough-edged angel today, and we are so lucky to have known this gentle soul. Sending love and care to the whole family. xo

Growing up in Shawnee and at Lake Quivira, I was drawn to John and Sheryl through Lora Lee, their dear daughter. For our group of friends, Lora’s home became our second home. And John and Sheryl became our second parents. The years grew, and over time we all dispersed to far-flung places: San Francisco, Portland, Paris, Nashville, the Far East, Los Angeles, Seattle, Manchester, and more. But wherever we went, we were always drawn home—whether with our footsteps or in our dreams. And the truth is that we never really arrived until we got back to Kansas City and saw the Kanes. John’s loving heart, his incredible sense of comic timing, his gift for storytelling, and his love of people—of all of us—made everyone feel the timelessness of youth even as time refused to stand still. Moose, Red, Whiskers, Scoop, Crow, Rooster, and the rest will all miss him dearly. But once you have known and loved a man like that, you know through your last breath that you truly have been blessed.

Eternal rest grant unto John, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen. Love and thanks for your impression on our family Mr. Kane; condolences and prayers for yours as they grieve your loss.

I was so saddened to hear about John passing. We hadn't seen him in awhile, and we didn't know how to get in touch with anyone so on a grimm change checked the obituaries, and found him. We knew he was battling an infection in his leg. I sincerely give my condolences, and say he was my favorite customer! Prayers and Blessings to you all,Tammy Hensley 💜🕊💐
