  • Our condolences to Gail and sons . John will be missed . - Posted by: Scott and Sandy Mason (Friends ) on: Jan 03, 2021

  • I was crushed to hear of John's passing. Heartfelt condolences go out to Gail and the rest of the family. John was known in my family as "Uncle John". He was undoubtedly our now-deceased father's longest and dearest friend. In his early days, John lived with us for a time. I grew up hearing the stories of their rebellious teenage years, their cars, and stories best described as youthful misadventures. John's ability to tell the stories and his infectious laugh will stay with me forever. Rest in peace John Joseph Debrecen... May your drives always stay on the fairway and that you one putt every green. - Posted by: Norm Weiss (Friend of the family) on: Jan 02, 2021
