I was lucky to have met John, his smiling face and quick wit brightened my day whenever I saw him. He will be missed on earth, though lives forever in our hearts.

From the first time I met Ann and John (my mother's friends), I knew that they would also be my friends. John will be so missed. Lunch at McDonalds in Tucker will never be the same. His sense of humor and kindness can not be matched. Just think heaven is even better now.
Ann and family: I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there for you. Just know that you all are in my thought and prayers. I feel so lucky to have had John as a friend.
Love Always, Karen
