John was such a nice and generous man. I met him many years ago and always thought he was so handsome. I also spent some time with him in his later years and he was still the same. He will be missed by family and friends.

John led a remarkable life. He loved to travel, but his favorite place was his home in Ansley Park where he could be seen walking his Old English sheep dogs or attending neighborhood events. He showed unconditional love and unending generosity for his friends and family. Always striving for positivity, his favorite saying was, "It´s water under the bridge."
