    I want to offer my sympathy to the Pratt family. I only knew John through his good friend, Joi. I found him to be a special, quiet but a true gentle man. He will be missed by all who knew him.

    Karl, Donna and Family Barb and I were very saddened to hear about your Father. We fondly remember your parents coming to our softball games and being two of our greatest fans. I know that was only a small part of their being great parents. Please express our sympathy to your family and know that the memory of your Father brings a smile to many faces. We miss seeing you guys and hopefully our paths will cross soon. Tom and Barb Tydings

    My deepest sympathy to your family. I wanted all of you to know I enjoyed caring for your dad. In the three days that I cared for him he made an ever lasting impression. It was a pleasure to work with your family. Thank-you Dawn Schmitt (your dad’s nurse practitioner)

    We will miss John very much. John and Joi have been to many functions with us and we love them both. Despite his health, he always made his best effort to be sociable and never complained once. John was a special guy.
