John was a beloved member of the blended Schueler Main and Edinger family. He visited us here in Louisa occasionally and I always looked forward to our chats about his time at GE. He set an example of gentle kindness that we all should embrace. RIP John, you will be missed.

John was such a kind and gentle man. He accepted me and my family as part of his own family without any hesitation. We would come and visit with him and Connie every time we came to Lynchburg. Unfortunately due to COVID, we were unable to visit for the last couple of years like we normally would have. I am so glad we were finally able to see them and visit one last time this past summer/fall. He will be greatly missed! We are truly blessed to have known him and honored to have been a part of his family!
