To My Dear Family, I watched the memorial video today. I can't believe it has almost been a year. It still brings tears to my eyes and hurt as much as if it were yesterday. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of him and he will never be forgotten.

Dear Pat and Sarah, What can I say, you all are like family to me, Knowing your Mom and being neighbors on Rose Circle forever, We became friends when we were both 'young and beautiful'. I know you will miss John. I miss him and he was some distance away. I can still hear him saying'OK, Darling' or some other quip, I remember when he played for early Morning prayer at Trinity, he said ' If I have to 'Blow the Trumpet in Zion' one more time'....and he would roll his expressive eyes. The best recent memory was gathered around the piano with Pat, John and Gerald singing the old time hymns, it brought tears to my eyes hearing their beautiful voices blend together. I can still hear John singing 'O Holy Night ' at Trinity, it made the hair on your arms stand up. I have so many memories of the good times we had together, I will never forget him and we will see them all some day soon...I Love You

Pat .... I am so sorry that I did not know of John's Homegoing! John was one of my favorite men of God! He was a real friend through the years. We had plenty of late night talks after office hours at Trinity! We just kinda unloaded and told the truth! I'll treasure those memories! I am just so sad that I was not able to be there to say 'See you later!' I just don't believe in 'Good-byes' ... as beleiver it's 'See you later!' I can only imagine John singing those wonderful songs of praise and worship (of course on the organ) face to face with our Lord. That has got to be an AMAZING experience! Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you. You hold a very special place in our hearts as well! Sure do love you and be assured of our prayers! As for John ... 'Hey man, save me a spot!'

John was a good friend when he was in West Palm Beach FL and attended Trinity Assembly of God. He and Pat were the finest and it was a blessing knowing them. Pat being a school teacher as my wife Mary (deceased March 6, 2003) also was had many conversations about the ups and downs of being in the school teaching profession. My sympathies to Pat and all the Shaffer families from myself and my three sons Eric, George and Charles and their families. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the promise that all that believe in Him will be together with Him someday forever and forever.

Dearest Pat and Shaffer Family, Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers during this brief time of separation from your precious husband, father and brother. John was the reason Debbee and moved to Sharp Top some eleven years ago. And who knows? Well, now that Deb has taken residence with the Father -- John just decided he would give it a shot!! I'm so glad we were neighbors, and I'm so glad that when all is said and done, we will remain neighbors. With Much Love, Lois Rich

My Uncle John was an Uncle who everybody loved being around, I remember counting the days before he and Aunt Pat came up from Florida to visit and remember crying when they left. My favorite childhood memory of him was when we were at McDonalds with my grandmother and they were no seats left so he got up and ate in the cold wind outside (much to my grandmothers dismay) so I did not have to sit in the high chair. He was easy to talk to and be around. He always remembered to say he loved you and was never afaid to give a hug. I will miss him very much.
