Dear Carol and Family,
Our deepest sympathy to your family on the passing of John. It has been a long time since we chased Jeff and the "twins" around the Orange Park Athletic Association. John was a fine man who I counted among my friends. He will be missed by all who knew him for his quiet sincerity. God Bless. Lites and Lorraine Lightsey

Dear Bush Family,

It was my pleasure to work with your loving Father, Husband, Brother and GrandFather at Smurfit Stone. John was diligent in all aspects of his life and a funny, friendly co-worker as well. I think of how he had a sandwich and an apple for lunch everyday along with his black coffee. He was always someone you could count on. May the Peace of our Lord comfort you now in your time of sorrow and loss. Love, Janet Noles
