John Hale Memorial- For the family
Donation protected
This week has embedded itself on so many peoples hearts as unbarable. A loving husband, Daddy, friend, brother, son, grandson, neighbor, coworker is now in Heaven. Johns death comes suddenly and unexpectedly, and with so many questions. Please feel welcome to reach out to any family and friends to talk.
What I really want to communicate here is that John was SO SO loved, by so many. I am Johns sister-in-law, and beneficiary of a ton of smoked salmon and crab. I want to tell you a little about my neices daddy, because he was one of a kind special. I want you to know that he would drop whatever he was doing to run to the aid or support of litterally anyone else. John LOVED fishing, being outdoors, and most of all BBQ! He loved his wife and daughter with an admirable passion. He loved kids and was great with them, most photos of him are him holding other people babies :) My daughters memory of him is that he made her "monster growl" before picking her up for the uncle hug, and she cherishes that.
John has a devoted wife, and beautiful 5 year old daughter, 8 brothers and sisters, a loving Mom and Dad, and many other family and friends that are devistated by this news, and muttling their way through the painful stages of grief.
Many have asked what they can do to help, and I have an answer for you. Shawna, Johns wife and my sister, is adamant about tyring to keep Ellie in her routine with preschool, living situation etc. Their lives would be made much less stressful if we all could band together and provide monetary support. Ellie could stay in her preschool/daycare, and even have a college fund. Grief counseling and support could be covered. Shawna could relax and just work through all of this without the burden of financial obstacles.
As the family mourns, lets all come together and help them financially with whatever may come. Anything will help, and wont go unappreciated.
Last, if this is the first you are hearing of this please reach out to any of us family. We are here to talk, its theraputic.
Love, Mandy (an honorary Hale)
