Kindness and gentleness doesn’t begin to explain John. I know he fought a hard battle. Heaven gained an angel. My thoughts and prayers are with Julie and Elijah and the rest of the Pappert Family.

My condolences to the Pappert family. I grew up across the street from them in Trevose. They all were more like family then neighbors. Rest in peace John.

John was a great guy. I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile. Was happy that he came to visit us & got to see my Dad. Heaven definitely had many Angels welcoming John in. Julie & Elijah you are in my thoughts. Praying that you find some kind of comfort. To my Pappert Family, you lost a good one. John surely had a long battle . He is now free with the Angels.

John was a wonderful person and friend. So sorry he’s gone, but glad he’s no longer suffering. He enjoyed many camping and backpacking trips with my husband and their friends. I grew up with John in Trevose, and he was always so nice to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you Julie, and the Pappert family. Nora Bailey-Simpson
