Hello Bugger,
I'm not sure if we ever met that I could remember. My Dad was always bringing our family to BBQ's or other events and "Uncle" Tinker was always so fun and engaging. I am so thankful for the great memories I have of him and Aunt Janet and everyone else. May God Bless you and yours!
Love,
Ali

Angie, John, and Janet,
I'm so sorry to hear about Tinker's passing. He was such a wonderful guy that brought so much happiness to so many people. As one of my first soccer coaches, Tinker taught me life lessons that will cherish forever.

Dear Janet: I am so sorry to read about John. I have been thinking about you guys for quite some time. I went back to Louisiana in June and had intended to call while there but it was father's day weekend so I figured you would be busy doing "daddy" thinks. I kick myself for not doing so now. I started a letter to you ages ago after I read about Diane but....more good intentions. God bless and take care.

Dear Janet, Angie and family, I am so sorry we did not know of John's illness until a few days ago. I remember when my husband and I last saw you and John at Sam's. Remembering the days of church and Bible study together. We've often told new people to our Bible study about the fact that you all stated you had either found some great people, or else you had ended up in a cult! Well, we love you and yours. I know God will see you through this time of earthly loss, looking forward to the great reunion that is to come.

Janet,
Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are for your entire family. John loved the Lord so much and I know that he is with Him now. John was such a source of strength and wisdom for me and so many others.
John Jr. - your daddy was so proud of you! (He told me many times)
We pray that you feel His Holy presence.
May God bless you all,

Dear Angie and Chris,
Uncle Tommy and I are so saddened to hear about the loss of your father and father in law. We were lucky to have met him and enjoy his company. He really seemed to get a lot out of life, especially being around his grandchildren. Tinker is well now and in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your families. Love to all, Aunt Pat
