Dear Judy and family, Our deepest sympathies are with you and your family during this tough time. Maurie was a guy with a lot of "spunk" and he would want you to look back at the "life" he had and not the sickness that took his life away. He was a great guy and such an asset to our family. I am so glad he got to know our kids and that they got to know and love him. I am blessed that I got to look him in his eyes yesterday and tell him that we all love him and thank him for the time he spent with the "trips." We will keep you, your kids and their families in our prayers. We love you all. Ben,Desiree, Jed, Aysha and Diadra Johnson

Judy and family, I worked for your husband and father for 2 years at IEC. He was a very good person to me and I enjoyed working for him until I started my own business. I would like to send my prayers and sympathy for your loss. He will be missed; but Heavenly Father is watching over him and also your family to help soften the impact of his passing and to strenghten your spirits. Again, sorry for your loss!

Dear Judy and family, We are saddened to hear of Maurie's death. We are so sorry that we are travelling and will not be able to be with you during this difficult time. Maurie simply was a "great guy". He and Gene seemed to hit it off and enjoyed many good visits. A more fun-loving, adventurous, and all around nice person we have never met. We'll always remember the day he learned to wind surf at Kenney's cabin in Columbus. With God's help we will never forget Maurie, but rather come to terms with his wonderful life here on this earth. Our prayers are with you, the kids, and the wonderful grandchildren. Love, Gene and Joyce

Dear Judy and family, It's been many years since I worked as Maurie's secretary at IE, but I have such good memories of him, and my time there. Maurie was a very fair man and treated me with great respect. I hope that I have the opportunity sometime to share some of my special memories with you. I hadn't heard that Maurie was even ill, so this came as a great surprise to me. I won't be able to be with you Monday, but will hold you all in prayer as you go through this time of saying good-bye. May God bless you and be with you and comfort you at this time. Udell and Jeri Podliska

Judy and Family--I remember when Maurie and his family moved into our neighborhood--diagonally from us. We were also at St. Bon's together. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
