My deepest condolences to your family. John was a colleague and friend to my father Mike Varble at Ohio Bell for many years. I remember going with my family to John's property to cut down Christmas trees when I was a child and many backyard barbecues. I was also touched when John came to my grandmother's funeral (Ann Varble) back in 2003. He will be very much missed.

I was so sorry to learn of Kent's passing. I was a classmate with Kent. I have many fond memories of our class reunions over the years. They always coincided with Dorthey and Kent's anniversary. I have many happy memories from our school days. Bill Apitz

We are keeping you in prayer....Please know that Kent touched our lives...and he is forever with us.. I pray in God's strength you find the enablement to endure. We have this assurance: " I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of MY hand. My Father, who has given them to ME, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. " My favorite scripture has always been.....11 Cor. 5:8....Absent from the body, present with the Lord. Love, Rose Ann

Dorothy and family,
My Sincere condolences to you. I worked with John up until my relocation to Columbus in 1985. He was always happy and helpful. I remember he always called any woman "Young Lady" and it always made me smile.
