John Gottschalk

Johnny, so many great things I can say about one of my greatest friends brother. The car ride homes from school, the bonus room remix cds, and just the baseball stories you shared with us. Rest easy. You will be missed here by so many who love you.

I've known the Gottschalk family for a few years now, and they have become like family to me. One thing I will miss is our Woody Woodpecker laugh, Johnny and I lauged at so many things. This event has left a hole in my heart that time may or may not heal. Johnny, you're now free to hit that big homerun, and everytime I go to Banana Boat for ice cream, I will miss you not being there. I love you! Mike Balzic

Johnny and I spent much time sharing our hopes and dreams together this past year. I will never forget his smile and care free persona. He always pushed me closer to Jesus any chance he got. One of the closest friends I have ever had in spite of the short time I got to know him. I love you buddy, I'll miss you.

Calvin and Wendy love Johnny as well as John and Connie. Our prayers are with the family. We are just broken hearted, but we know that God will strengthen us.
