So sorry to hear that John Sr. has passed on. John gave me my first job and I'll never forget that, him and you John. Im living in Dana Point, Ca; been here for 30 years now; just happened to google your name to see if you still had a Garden Shop some where and found out that John has passed on. God Bless you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Father.
I met him and your sister at the Methodist Church spaghetti
dinner last year.  You are lucky you had your Dad so long. 
God Bless!  Ellen Sube

John  ("Johnny, Jr.") was a really nice man!  We knew his through my mom-his cousin, Bertha Ann Flynn.  She always spoke so highly of him & enjoyed her visits with him especially when he came to Michigan for her 90th birthday. I attachek a picture of them from that party.  We also loved his personalized license ("DeKOKER")!  He will be missed by many people.  Pat (Flynn) and Chuck McCrery

Although I miss my Grandpa dearly I'm happy he is no longer suffering here on Earth and he has entered his eternal life in heaven with my Grandma.

Dear John, Sue and family,

So very sorry to read about your fathers passing.  He was very special to you both and know that his spirit lives on in your hearts.  Our prayers are with you.

I remember a couple of years back when I told Uncle John that I couldn't find any pictures from when I was a baby.  There in my mailbox a short time later were a couple of very cute pictures of a little girl....the only problem was that the date on the pictures of the little girl was "before" I was even born...soooo sweet..May you rest in peace Uncle John.

John and Sue,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your father.  Our sympathies to you and the rest of your family

I am so sorry to hear about Johnny's passing.  He was a very close friend of my uncle, Jack Forsyth.  When I was a little girl, I remember going to the Chicago garden center (I believe it was at 55th or 59th street) for our Christmas tree every year.  I remember his wonderful smile.  I seem to remember him delivering coal to my grandparents at 3607 West 64th Street.  I'm sure you will miss this wonderful man.

My uncle John, what a great man. Many great memories of aunt ruth and uncle john. Home and gardens tough job. Sledding down the hill in the back yard. Dog tuffy..on and on . rest in peace. you are now whith aunt ruth amd my mother and father.. Always in my prayers.....

In Christian love, hope, and peace the volunteers of The United Methodist Church of Worth Food Pantry will remember John's faithful dedication to his hungry brothers and sisters as he delivered weekly donations.  He always enjoyed the hugs from his volunteer friends, too!  We will miss his bright smile and Godly presence, but we rejoice that he has entered God's triumphant Kingdom--what a home-going!

I grew up accross the street from the DeKokers, and his son and I became best friends.  John and his wife, Ruth, were like second parents to me when I was in grade school and high school. They were wonderful people and great neighbors.  Everyone looked out for each other.  John was a true part of the "greatest generation" and lived a good life - the American Dream.  He will be missed and never forgotten as his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren carry on his legacy.
