Dear Bertha, Danny and Debbie and family,

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. John was one of the best uncles anyone could ever wish for. I am sure he and my Dad are having a wonderful reunion in heaven. Please find comfort in the many memories you have of Uncle John and in knowing that he is in a much better place. I love you all.... Linda Stables

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mr. Stables was a very kind and cheerful man, I never saw him when he didn't have a smile on his faced. May the memories of his kindness and love get you through the tough times you will face without him in your lives. through his kindness and patients I was able to purchase my very first car 26 years ago, and my daughter her very first car. His kindness will never be forgotten
