John was the best forms supplier and salesman in Lubbock for the past 40 years! I bought forms from him during that time and my wife and I also became friends with John and Karyn. He was a good man and I am proud to call him my friend. He will be dearly missed!

A friend helping me move into the neighborhood over 11 years ago met John first as he loaned us his dolly. The U-haul one had a flat tire. He promptly said, “Dude. Your neighbor is cool.” How right he was. I send my condolences to Karyn and the entire family. If there were any weeds in Heaven before he got there, I am sure John has eradicated them by now.

John was a special neighbor who everyone loved. He was so friendly and always anxious to help you out. My family thinks Thanksgiving won't be the same without John to come down to our house! He always liked to talk cars with Mike!! He will be truly missed!
