Mary and Family, I am so sorry about Jon’s passing. He will be missed so much. I have good memories of times we shared with him … he had such a good sense of humor and was just fun to be around. I am keeping you all in my prayers.
Mr. Loring – ‘Coach Loring” There are so many childhood memories that stand out and yet it’s the lessons learned from Mr. Loring that made their mark on me as a child and into my formative adult years. While I was on the softball field daddy was telling me fundamental elements of the game, “Choke up! | Keep your eye on the ball. Keep the ball in front of you.” While Coach Loring was yelling, “You can do it! | You’ve got this. | This is your BIG BREAKTHROUGH” Thank you for the motivation, inspiration and willingness to always look positively into the future, Mr. Loring. I watched you all those years as you brought all the people of various tribes together for fun, lessons and fellowship. You’ve never met a stranger and you always walked in integrity, honor and positivity. YOU MADE YOUR MARK and shall always be missed! Much love you to you and your incredible family! – Posey
