Uncle John,
Where do I begin... the time you watched us when mom and dad went on vacation, the cool ride in your corvette, babysitting Lisa and John-john when they were little, family gatherings at Memere & pepere's on Diamond Hill Road, your recent visits for the 4th of July, being able to say "That's my godfather!"...All are the many cherished memories that I hold close to my heart always.  No matter how long it had been since the last visit, after the hug, the kiss, and the smile, and the conversation....it felt like no time at all!  I will miss you...love Janie
Lisa and John Jr., 
know that your dad is a great guy that touched the lives of so many.  He had that "special something" that made everyone want to be around him.  He was very proud of both of you...he always shared stories and pictures when I saw him.
Gina, Justin, and Lydia,
 I felt like I knew you even before I met you.  Uncle John loves you so much...it was evident the moment we sat down at a visit.  He had a "special glow" when he talked about each of you and of course he always had pictures!  Know that he will be sadly missed but happily remembered.
Love, Jane Foster

Sometimes in this life you meet people who leave an everlasting impression on you and John was definetly one of those people.We feel lucky to have known him and are so sorry for your loss.
                                                                    Love,
                                                                            Joe and Amy Woodruff

Pops was the best father-in-law a girl could ever ask for. I cant even begin to recount the endless, hysterical, loving, and amazing memories we have created in the few years I have known him. I will always cherish every memory I have. 

Love you and miss you so much popsie. I will always be your "maynard"

Dear Uncle Johnny,
There were many times when I lost hope and wanted to give up on singing for good, but because you believed in me I've been able to achieve so much. I loved every minute of having you visit and all of the crazy, hysterical and simply unforgettable memories that I will always cherish. Remember para sailing in Aruba?  I was so afraid of falling in the water and you promised we wouldn't but of course coming back down from the sky we started to fall into the ocean..I never screamed that much in my life and all you did was laugh at me.   Making fun of everyone at the family 4th of July parties will definitely not be fun alone anymore.  I know meme're already told you about my auditions coming up next week and I promise to make you proud.  I wish you were here to see me do that.  I'll always remember you as having the biggest heart, someone who would do anything for others and always with a smile of your face.  Please watch over all of us and know that I will be thinking of you every time I step foot on stage.  Thank you for being you.

Love,
Your star

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

July 08,2010   To Gina, family and friends.. I worked with John many yrs. at GM. The stories he told and the pranks we played kept us all going those long nights working.. those thought and the stories still linger on and had brought great joy and laughter to all that knew him.. He will be missed greatly! For You Gina, and your family, have my deepest sympathy, for John truly, is a Legacy and will live on forever in our hearts.

Mr. Dumas
God has chosen this time to come down and take your soul back to heaven,to be with him. We will soon reluctantly give your body back to mother nature. But the memories of your sense of humor,absent mindness,and love you've left us will be in our hearts forever. Ride like the wind dear friend.
               Lonnie Griffin

Gina and family....you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dumas
These last 17 years have been ones that i will never forget. I am happy to say that i knew you and was also considered your second wife. You being gone will just not be the same, I will miss the PEEK A Boo,and the ungodly amounts of butter that was consumed. Until we meet again you take care of General and I will keep watch over Gina. We love you and will miss you.

You will laugh and cry when you remember.  Just know that your family are in my prayers.  Love you Johnny and will miss you deeply.  Until we meet again my friend.

Johnny will be deeply missed by so many people. He was a Wonderful guy. Not like any other. There are so many things we will miss about him, his whistling, singing and that ornery laugh. I know Norm will miss his singing "Norman my Love" most of all. For those of us that knew him, we are all so richly blessed to have wonderful memories of such a wonderful man. Johnny Dumas you will be missed !!!!
Love Norm and Jody Resor

Heaven is richer by far having "Dumas" in it.

Shelby Stambaugh

Everyone who knows John feels they have lost their BEST friend.  I know I feel that way. Johnnie had a way of making anyone he met feel like the most special friend he had.  I will miss him so much.  I met him many years ago and then met Gina and his family.  I felt privileged knowing all of you.  It is so hard to realize that he is really gone.  So many good times and so many memories.  I have cried a lot and then I think of something Johnnie did and I have to laugh.  Gina, Lisa, John Jr, Justin, Lydia, please know I am praying for you to someday find happiness with all the great memories you have of him.  And I hope it is comforting to know how many people loved him.  He was a very UNIQUE person.

Gina, Lisa, and family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Johnny was well loved by all.

Dumas things will never be the same our card games,cribbage,poker runs,and your coffee visits you will be missed so very much. Then there was the lobster and snail salad that you loved. We've known each other for over 40 years that started at GM and lasted beyond. I will always cherish those times. Until our next journey together we will miss you. Rest in peace my friend God Bless  love Donnie & Patsy

The Dumas Family~ I just wanted to send my condolences to you all in the passing of John. My dad John VanSumeren considered John "Dumas" one of his best friends, his GM family...my dad constantly was talking about the pratical jokes they both played on each other and the good heart that Dumas had. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

johnny you will be deeply missed you gave me so many laughs and had a lot of fun being around you

My deepest sympathies to friends and family of one of the greatest people I have ever met. You will be so greatly missed!! I don't think I ever saw you without a smile on your face and you always told me everyday was my birthday...to celebrate life! Goodbye, for now, Dumas, my friend.

Gina,Lisa, John Jr, and Justin,and family

Johnny made friends of everyone he met. But this was only part of his personality.  We all will remember him for his personality and generosity. He often involved himself in so many different worthy projects and causes. The Fort Wayne community and the VFW 1421 is so much richer for his having lived. I had no other friend whose wisdom and kindness meant to more to me. I send you all my love to give you strength to bear your sorrow. And I know, we all are grateful for the many happy times we all got to share with Dumas. Mondays and Wednesdays will never be the same at VFW #1421 without my favorite bartender- Dumas. 

Love Cynthia Flennery

Dumas, 
           Jeff and I will miss you forever. Goodbye is so hard to say. You gave us so much to live for and so much to laugh at, in our daily life and the times around the VFW, you brought so much happiness to us and everyone around you ,more than you'll ever know.  There will never be anyone that will fill that space that is our hearts that you did, because you were that one unique friend in a person life that can never be replaced. Saying goodbye to you is devastating and it will be one of the hardest things we both will ever have to do. But this is what we will have to keep in our minds to help us keep going on without you, and that is that, Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean we will miss you until we meet again. You always had a smile on your face and you always made everyone around you feel special & happy and you always made us all feel very welcome to be around your family &friends and  yourself.  Dumas, We will miss you always. Jeff and I love you so much.
Love Jeff & Cynthia Flennery
