I will really miss John sitting out & enjoying his yard which he kept beautiful. I remember him always talking about fishing years ago & how he loved it. I have been his neighbor for many years. Miss you John.

So sorry to hear of John´s passing. He was a great friend of my Dad Larry Cress. We live on my Dad´s old property that was next to John´s in KY. Lots of good memories from when I was younger. May you find comfort and peace in the coming days.
