I just want to say how much we will miss John. He was very special to me and I enjoyed watching the video. There is a strong resemblance to my brothers, Fred and Jim Abel. I remember all the holidays he spent with my family. We wish you the best and know he will be missed by all who knew him.

I loved the video. When we were kids, my mother, Ruth May Abel, always invited John, her brother, and the rest of her family, to our house for holiday dinners. That's us in the photo in front of the house. John was always so kind and gentle and very quiet and very smart and we really injoyed his company.
