I am sad to hear of John's passing.
His sense of humor while facing such disabilities was truly inspiring.
I tried to get over and visit him whenever I was in town.
I will never forget him.

As much as John will be sorely missed, I rejoice in the vision of the ecstacy that must have been on John's face as he came before the Lord! John loved the Lord so much! And the added joy of being without disability! John will be missed, but left behind an example of perseverence and love! We miss you and love you John!

John
It's hard to believe that we were such good friends for almost a quarter of a century.We've been through so much together;weddings, births, deaths,vacations, holidays, retreats, concerts, church services and being like a father to me. You will
always be my example of never complaining about your adversity and thank you John for teaching me how to truly give.John, you will be sorely missed. I see you dancing in heaven before our LORD with that ear to ear smile of yours.May God eternally bless you!

I am sad to know that you are no longer here with us but am at peace to know that you are in the Lord's arms now!
You added a whole different perspective to my view of disabled people. I thank you for coming into my life and for being like a grandpa to me as well as my kids.
I will always love you and carry you close to my heart! You will always
be a part of my family!
Love Always,
Megan

My childhood is filled with lots of happy memories with days spent in Franklin. Playing in Big Uncle Sam's garden; Auntie Anna's cooking and kisses; rides in Uncle Sam's car and getting the first glimpse of the house as the car made the slight turn on Beaver Street. We knew we arrived as there was Johnny sitting out on the beginning of the walk way, greeting the cars that go by. Sometimes in the summer he was sitting under a huge umbrella. He always had the greatest tan. Johnny was the official greeter of Beaver Street.
May Johnny rest in peace.
