Dear Hurst family,
The beautifully inspiring story outlined in the obituary says it best. From my close association with John — a distant cousin — and the indomitable and brilliant Peggy over many years at First Presbyterian, I say amen to all described. John had abounding curiosity about life, was a close listener and exemplified the best of civility. Both John and Peggy put their words and beliefs in action to the benefits of untold public school pupils, church members, the community, our country, and the world. I loved them, felt loved by them and am grateful for their lives. Peace.
