During the 30 years of working for OILWELL he made frequent calls to Cooper and Brain, Inc. in Wilmington and as a young man, my husband, Bob and he become well acquainted.... only to be reunited at SPBTS years after Johns retirement. John will be long remembered for his endearing quiet faith and demeanor...a testimony to his spirit filled life. Dixie
