Having graduated nearly 50 years ago with him , I know how much he loved his friends as I would still see his activities on FB and his comments to us when he read our posts.

Grew up with John, he was always a character and was mischievous and a jokester. He supported my painting and bought the first painting I sold. I considered John a good friend and send my deepest sympathies and condolences to his loved ones. RIP MY MAN??????

One of my very best buddies has gone to be with Jesus. We are not saddened by that. We are saddened that we must endure for a bit without your smile, your laughter, your perseverance. You will be missed, John, by many.

Ellen I’m so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man. I can’t remember ever seeing him in a bad mood no matter what he had going on. I remember when we first started the assembly and you and John took to our Mallory like she was yalls own. We share in this time of loss because ur church family has a huge loss here too and I just want you to know honey we are just around the corner from you or a phone call/ text away. We love you and we will miss our jokester very much but this isn’t goodbye it’s c ya later.
