John and I were good friends and I loved him. I wish I was able to have gone and seen him more often, but i'm sure he understood. God Bless him.

John was a fine and caring man. I was always appreciative of his friendship to my wife and I and even more for the companionship he gave to my mother Ruth. He will truly be missed by all
