Dear Rupar Family, You may not remember me, but I remember Sarah and John. I was their bus driver at St. John for several years. I only just learned of John’s passing through a bulletin I picked up at the church when I attended mass and saw his name with the list for ALL Soul’s Day. They were great kids and we had a lot of fun on the bus. He used to talk about your dog, Snickers. While I no longer drive at St. John’s (they discontinued bus service a few years ago), I have many fond memories of the school and the children I drove. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God continue to be with you during this time.
