Sounds like people are just gonna be in and out Friday depending on when they can get there. If i go I'll probably try and coordinate meeting up with Kim and anyone shes with.

For Saturday morning, looking at whats around i would say maybe meet at the Collingswood Diner or one of the parking lots next to it.

201 Crescent Boulevardhttp://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&b...092c69,Collingswood,+NJ&gl=us&sa=X&ei=Azr_UN#
Oaklyn, NJ 08107

Or maybe meet at one of the gas stations like a wawa or something.

Just thought everyone would like to see

This is John's obituary. This has been taken from the Creran Funeral Home's website


JECKOT
John Michael
On January 20, 2013 of Collingswood, NJ, age 39. He is the beloved husband of Nancy C. (nee Lee), devoted father of Anna and Isabel, loving son of Jack and Christine Jeckot and dear grandson of Patricia Bennett. He is also survived by his sister Elizabeth Lee, his brother Christopher Jeckot, his brother-in-law Warren Finch (Winnie). He cherished his nephews Austin and Jackson, his niece Zoe and nephew Max and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. John will be remembered for how he always took time to help others. He was a member of the X-Runner Underground, enjoyed upgrading his pick-up and sharing his knowledge of the planets and stars. He was an avid fan of the Flyers. As a talented drummer he listened to and played along with heavy metal music. He was known to use his quick wit and humor to make people laugh. Most importantly, John always remarked how much he loved “his girls”. Relatives and friends are invited to meet Friday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 PM and again Saturday from 10:00 to 11:00 AM at the CRERAN FUNERAL HOME, 400 WHITE HORSE PIKE, OAKLYN, NJ. John’s funeral service will be held 11:00 AM at the funeral home. Interment will be private and held at the convenience of his family. An Educational Fund for John's children has been set up at PNC Bank. Contributions may be made at any PNC branch under the name of M. Christine Jeckot.

I just want to thank anyone and everyone who can make it to service. I'm not in position to be able to get there. Hope we can get a meet that way, it would be awesome to pay respects with others during that meet.

So can I get a head count, actually more of a vehicle count? I was thinking of getting a few vinyls cut and bringing them down with me for each of us that are going to attend.

I am planning on the viewing on Friday.

Not sure if I am going to make the funeral on Sat.

Question, is the funeral service going to be held at the funeral home and is there also going to be a grave site service necessitating a caravan?

I encourage everyone to wear one of these or incorporate the colors somehow in honor of John. Thanks for the idea. The flowers that we are sending on behalf of the XRU family will incorporate the same colors in his memory.
