John was the best person that I was bless to know, his love and honesty, faith, his legacy is the church that continues to spread the love he had for his family, and everyone who he ever took the time to speak with and he always had time to talk and listen to. I believe that he was met at the gate by the saints,angels and Jesus himself, I believe he was and is a blessing to us all,
Dear Phyllis and family,
The goodbye is so long…and then short too. We are forever changed by your John!
Thank-you for loving us back in the early days of our ministry. Never an unkind word from
John! You both made a safe stop for any of our questions. Oh did I mention the sweet attitude you both exhibited through rejection. Wow⭐️ We love you very much!

I have many fond memories of Pastor John. One of those memories was the first time my wife and I met Pastor John. My wife and I had just learned that she was pregnant with our third child, Breanna, we had not told anyone outside of our immediate family. Pastor Phil, Pastor John, my wife and myself, met at Denny’s in Carbondale Il. John took one look at my wife and said, “Congratulations on your pregnancy.” My wife and I were astounded and asked, “How did you know?” He replied, “She has that glow.” That was Pastor John, he had a way of knowing things about people. I will miss our conversations and lunches that we had together. He was the first person that I thought of preaching my 10th year anniversary at the Church that I now pastor. He had a big hand in getting me there. I remember that my daughter and a friend of hers tried to “break” into his office because Sunday morning donuts were left in there after service. He just laughed and opened his office and invited them to eat donuts with him. The Clardy family loves Pastor John and has wonderful memories of him. We pray that God will be with the Phyllis and the Whole Nordstrom family and may God’s peace and love be with you during this time.

I will always cherish the time I had under John and Phil’s leadership at CCC Murphysboro. John’s impact on my life and the lives of so many others will never be forgotten. My deepest condolences to the Nordstrom family.

Im honored to have crossed paths with Mr. John! I first met him through Mrs. Kim. My two boys and I lived at UHWs for awhile. Then, he came to have rehab at pleasant view and I had the pleasure of visiting and taking care of him. I looked up to him so much and just love him and his whole family. He left a great imprint in my life but also in my children’s life. Im thankful for his obedience! I send my deepest love, sympathy, and condolences to Mrs. Phyllis, the family, and all that holds him dear.
