John was such a great person. As a child I visited Mildred (my aunt) and John many times and he was always a lot of fun. He had the best sense of humor of anybody I have known. He will be really missed.

I remember John from the headquarters complex of Indiana Bell. Always fixing our phones, always a kind word, and always carrying his "doctors bag" of tools. You will be missed John, you long earned the rest.

Dear Family of John Hren: John was one of the sweetest repairman that I ever dispatched. We called him "Dr. J.", because he carried his tools in a bag that looked like a doctor's bag. He was also a real good repairman. He always had a kind word to say to every one he met. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the family. The loss of a loved one is never easy, but please find comfort in God's word the bible that says there is going to be a resurrection. Acts 24:15 says there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, and with this hope it is possible for you to see him again. In addition to that wonderful promise the bible gives us more hope at Rev. 21:4 that talks about a restored paradise where the human family will have the prospect of enjoying life without end, free of sickness, disease and death as we welcome back our dear loved ones. May you find comfort in God's word the bible and may the many wonderful memories that John your loved one provided comfort you during this most difficult time.
