Hello, my deepest condolences on you son John. I went to school with him and I heard of his passing while at New Albany Garden Center. I was there because my mother-in-law, Nancy Lucas passed away. I will say a prayer for John and your family. I went by Gracie in high school and I will always remember is unique sense of humor. May God bless you!

Dear Pryor family: We were deeply saddened to hear of Jonathan's passing. It's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since he was a caddie at The Golf Club in the summer of 1996 with Trip. I know the past nine years have held both hope and sorrow for the Pryor family. He was a fine young man who will be remembered for the things he loved and the people he touched. Please accept our condolences on his passing and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Pryor Family: Our condolences to you on Jonathans passing. My family (The Hinson's) remember Jonathan during our visits to see our grandmother Ruth Hinson at New Albany Gardens. Grandma would always talk about Jonathan during our visits and she received a great deal of joy visiting with him. He is now at peace and hopefully visiting with my grandmother as I write this.
