Joyce we are so sad about John's passing and equally sad that we cannot attend. We have a house full of grand children.
I always enjoyed visiting with John, his parents and sisters.
John was my hero. First he was older and second he had a horse.
We wish you the best and will call very soon.
Love Gary and Karen.

Tammy, hate to hear about your dad he was a great man. Mom and I always still talk about you, your dad, and the old white horse you use to show a long time ago, along with a lot of the other ole timers. Your dad was one of the ole great ones to always see at the shows. Hope all else is well with all your family. He will be truly missed!

I never thought I would become such good friends with John when I saw him pull into the Waverly Horse Sale with his red Dodge pick up and a ton of Amishmen jumping out of the truck and trailer. He knew how to have fun and everyone enjoyed being around him. What a kind, sweet man. So glad I got to visit with him a few weeks ago. Thanks for your hospitality. Was nice to meet Johnny and have a short visit with him. To all the Tredways, my sympathy, we have lost a great man.

Tammy & Johnny,
Our deepest sympathies at the loss of John. We had so much fun growing up at horse shows. We still laugh at how Tammy would announce for Dad to go to the trailer immediately and he would laugh and jump up and to the rescue for whatever minor issue. We shared a love of horses, kids, family and of course it was all fun. Great memories to hold dear. He will be sadly missed.
