Bev, Mark and I are very, very saddened to hear of John’s passing. Sadly, we saw that John had passed to late to be able to say our goodbye’s to him and give you a comforting hug. We can all rest knowing that John is now with Our Savior and we will all meet again. You both welcomed Mark and I with open arms each time we saw you. You have made a huge imapact on us and for that we thank you.
To John’s family — A wonderful man who will be missed. When we were kids, I thought he was such a nice cousin (and handsome too). I’ve never forgotten John and Bev’s kindness to me and my mother through the years. May your own special memories see you through this difficult time. — From Susie

John — whenever I refer to you and Bev I always say “they are like my neighborhood parents” and it’s been such a blessing to have you both in my life for the past 11 years. I’ve enjoyed our ‘driveway chats’ and I am really going to miss you! But I am thankful that you are now with God and no longer in pain. All my love, Terri
The Pittaway and Bleier families shared so much over 42 years…raising our children, street picnics, neighborhood pranks (Bev – remember the flamingos?)There was no bloke with a better sense of humor and a bigger heart. He will be missed, but God has a wonderful new angel. Pip and Janet will welcome him at the pearly gates. Ta Ta for now old friend.
John you are the best looking, smartest etc… it was always our joke with one another. You are the Big Brother I never had and that I always looked up to. Sarah and I will forever miss your humor and wit as well as your knowledge base. We love you.
It’s been a Wonderful 29 years as friends and neighbors you will be greatly missed but will always be in our hearts you are in Gods hands now Rest in peace.
From our families to all,
Our hearts are heavy for you. In time your strength will come from the lessons John left behind. We send a million hugs for every tear shed and a billion for every memory you share.
God Bless.
Uncle John, Such a dark heavy cloud has hung over me / us. I have always remembered all the fun our family had and we still laugh about them, but now those memories are more vibrant and will be cherished so much more.( would love to list my favorite memories but the list would be so long) I love you deeply and will miss you terribly. Aunt Bev, Tammy Bobby and Keithy and rest of the family, I am so truly sorry for your loss. I can not begin to fathom how you feel. I will pray every night for peace in your hearts. I love you all so very very much. Thank you uncle John for my bible. I will read it, I promise…
To the Dear Family of John and Bev Bleier,
We have shared so many warm and beautiful times together. Your guidance has developed a family that depicts the true and loving meaning of “family”. We have always felt to be a part of your “family”. We love you, God loves you and everybody loves you. John has gone to his final resting place and will be, most definitely, missed. However, his memory will live on and will still be a strong influence on us and many who’s lives he has touched. May God bless you all and give you the strength to heal and carry on his Christian mission in life.
In love and friendship,
Bob & Lou
John, you were such a wonderful human being. Words cannot describe the impact you had on not only mine but so many lives. It isn’t often that people have someone of your caliber enter their lives , but when they do it is never ever forgotten. I have to brush the memories away when I look back on all the times we enjoyed together. I will miss you dearly my beautiful friend. Bev, please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of John, He will always be in my heart, and live on through the joy we all will share in every story we will continue to tell about this great individual whom we were privileged to know.
The news of John’s passing has broken my heart. He was such a wonderful man. As a friend and co-worker of my mothers, and later an elder at church and my personal mentor as I became a mentor at Hope, John inspired me to be a better person and aspire to be a better Christian. I will feel forever grateful that I was blessed enough know him. I will miss his contagious positive spirit and his unconditional love. John was always concerned that I was being “spiritually fed”…no worries John, you taught me well, and I am! Thank you for your help through my journey, and may God bless Bev and bring her comfort in the days ahead.
With tons of love we will say goodbye to our brother and uncle. Having known him and having him in our lives has made us all better people. We know he is no longer in pain and is at peace. We will miss him and think of him often. It is with sadness and heavy hearts knowing that he will no longer be with us but his spirit and memories will forever be with each and every one of us.
Bob and family, I am sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. I know he must have been a great Dad, husband and friend because he raised a great son. Hang in there.
May happy, loving memories of times together help you through this difficult time. I just bet Uncle John is fishing with my Dad about now. Love and prayers to all of you…
John you will always have a special place in our hearts..the memories of our times together with you and Bev will be in our hearts forever..
