John A McCreary *

Enjoy your birthday and rejoice in all the LORD has blessed you with.

Hello Pat, Wow a lot of water has past over the dam since we lived next door to each other on Alpha St.
I see by your profile that you have become an world traveler , I also notice that you have gone through a lot of trials. 1 John 7 thru 13 teaches us how very much God loves us and with his love we can share with one another how faithful HE is.
This photo shows my family in Sept of 2015. On my right is our younger son Keith with his wife Marsha and son Tyler all three play in our praise band at church. Tyler plays drums, Keith plays guitar, Marsha plays Keyboard. Three generations serving the Lord. To my left is our son John, wife Diane and their children Brandon, Kristyn and Kayla.
I left Lansing the day after graduation to join the USAF. My first base I was sent to was Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee Ma. I met Carol at a dance there in 1961, following a years tour in Tule Greenland I was discharged an we married in OCT 1963.
In 2007 I was blessed to go to China with 16 others on an mission trip. This trip was very eye opening as we were able to get into several small village and spent two weeks there. We were invited to an High School in Mile, This school served 3,000 children and they all spoke english. We were each assigned to teach an one hour class. What and awesome experience this was.
I spent most of my life working in Auto dealerships, Service and parts manger. I went into semi- retirement in 2006. I then drove school bus for 8 years before i retired.
I have been very active in our church for over 30 years and love being able to serve others.

Happy birthday Ron, hard to believe that it has been over 60 years since we were neighbors. Trust all is well with you and your family.
