I wasn't saddened to read of John's passing. One of our former classmates sent this to me. North Park High School was way more fun because of John's laughter and great sense of humor. My hopes are that those close to him can remember good memories soon. My sympathies. Kris Hanson Hufty, former classmate from Walden

Our condolences to all of you during this time. Out of the many sales reps that come in to my shop John was one of the only that we welcomed. His professionalim and personality made him a pleasure to do business with. He will be missed.

All of the words in the world would not be able to convey how truly sorry I am for your loss. ..Our loss. I would like to send all of my thoughts and prayers your way. I cannot even put into words how much Mr. Medling will truly be missed. I have only the fondest memories and I am so glad to have had the privilege of knowing someone who was always such a pleasure to be around. I cannot think of a single moment where I've ever seen Mr. Medling without that huge, contagious smile across his face, and I know that I will remember that smile for all my days to come. He has touched so many hearts with his presence here on Earth, and I am just honored to say that mine was one of them. I am sure he is in Heaven now, still smiling down over all of us. My deepest condolences to you all, I love each and every one of you and I pray that the Lord is with you during this time.

John had an unforgetable laugh and an unbelievable heart. I will never forget you brother. I am sure my son Sam made it a point to greet you in heaven. I will see you again my dear brother. Our hearts go out to Sharon and the family. John was a man of God and he took his relationship with Jesus very seriously and would give the greatest and most practical counsel. We already miss you my friend, my co-elder, my brother.

We are all well aware that we have lost a general in God's incredible army, and an integral member of the Body of Christ; a soldier who has truly gone home having honored his Master. John was more than a friend to me and more than a brother. He was an encourager in every sense of the word. He simply did not know how to quit! I know he never quit on me. It was evident, when John would continue to encourage me many years ago, that he believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. He was to me every bit the model of stability and confidence. John had a very simple, but profound wisdom that was clearly evident in his advice and counsel. I will miss him greatly. I will also miss his incredible laugh! John loved to laugh To me, it was the sound of pure joy! I truly celebrate him and all he was and all he meant to me. His memory is a blessing to me; and that alone is a sentiment that is reserved for a very, very few. Tom Totton

Dear Sharon, Please accept and convey to your children my deepest condolences on your loss. Even though I only saw John periodically through the years, each meeting was a joy and a chance to learn something. He will be missed on this earth, but I am picturing him joining our loved ones in heaven. My daughters Sarah and Bailey (Kastner) also send their condolences. Nancy

My Dearest Sharon, Words simply cannot express the shock and deep sorrow I feel with the loss of John. Although my interactions with him were not numerous, I knew John to be a truly loving and forgiving gentle man who loved his family and friends whole-heartedly. I am so very sorry I am unable to be there in person this evening, but want you to know that you and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, Susan

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take...but by the moments that take our breath away. John took our breath away with his wisdom many a time. He always took the opportunity to give back, to mentor and to share. The friendship John gave to all those he knew was a bond of the soul and the shared moments will never be forgotten. It is a sad and trying time for those who loved John. We must remember that in the midst of our sorrow God is at work in our lives. God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble_ Psalm 46:1 John, you are cradled in the arms of God now. Rest, rest in peace. May the grace of our Redeemer, and the love of the Father, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with all who loved John. Peace to Sharon and all family members. Peace... ounce for ounce, the mightiest little wish in the world. With heartfelt sympathy, Denise and Bob Shambreskis

John always had a way of showing up in the right place,and at the right time. As though the Lord directed, without John knowing why, he would show up in my driveway, and knock on the door.The shepard with the long hook in action.He "reeled me in" on several ocassions.He loved John Wayne,and was elequent at mixing New Testament princples, with cowboy wisdom.

In my younger years, I spent many nights sitting around a campfire with "Big John", Jonathan, Ethan, and my father on camping and hunting trips. I'll always remember his funny tales and spooky ghost stories. His hearty laugh was contagious, and his smile let you know that you were among friends. John was man of integrity, for whom I had the utmost respect. His kind, gentle nature, positive outlook on life, and generous personality made him an asset to his community and to this world. I always thought of John as my father's friend, but as I write this, I realize that he was my friend as well, and that I'm probably a better man for having known him. Though years had sometimes gone by, I would occasionally still ask my father, "When am I gonna see Big John again?" I had hoped to sit around the campfire with him again soon. So here's to you, Big John, until we meet again. You won't be forgotten, and I'll always remember what to do if I come face-to-face with a bear in the woods. - Scott Lucente

Many years ago, we met John through his business but immediately became friends. He just had that special way about him; kind, happy, joyful and spiritual; a wonderful person to be with. We were blessed to have known him, and greatful to have had his friendship. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sharon and his children.
