You are in my thoughts and prayers. John was a very kind man, willing to help everyone and is now being rewarded for his good works. I knew him when I was with ACR.

I was saddened to read about John. When I joined Ala. Co. Rescue he was a member. He will be missed. He was always kind to me and helped me in any way he could. My prayers are with the family.
