Mary Helen and Jeannie, sorry to hear of John's passing. Randa and I remember the great times we had at McGruder Village prior to moving to Muhlenberg County. Our thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear this news. John was such a fun and upbeat guy in High School. He was one year older than me but we had some good times back in the day. Had not seen John since we got out of High School in Greenville! Sympathy goes out to all of his family!

Mary Helen and Jeannie....At one time, John was much like a brother to me. I have many fond memories of those days in Greenville. Prayers of comfort. With Love, Barbara Woodson Wolford

Maryhelen, Jeannie, rest of your family and his friends, I am very very sorry for your loss. John was a great guy. We had some great memories together. I know it was very difficult to let him go, but he is in a better place. Glad he got to enjoy four grandsons! My two (& 2 step grandsons) are such a joy. All of you are in my thoughts & prayers. I wanted to send a sympathy card, but lost your address, Jeannie. I also wanted to extend my sympathy to you, Jeannie & Dennis, on Miles untimely passing! (Barbara Woolford, whose sister dated John in high school, told me of Miles passing.) Love you guys!
