John's smiling face and terrific sense of humor will be sadly missed by his friends in West Virginia. Often the decision of whether to attend the auction was whether Johnny was going to be there. Johnny was a good man and he will be missed by all who knew him. I am very, very sorry for your loss.

Doris and family, I know you will be one lonesome person without your mate. Do know I will miss his humor during the auctions. Also for remembering my number. My God Bless and keep you, and know that if you need me just call. a friend, Rita Davidson

Randy & I are so very grateful that we got to know John and all the family over the last few years. We will be forever grateful. Please know, Doris,Sanatana,John A, Sandy,and family that you all are in our prayers and thoughts. Don't ever forget the wonderful happy times and memories of John, for they will carry you thru this time and as time goes on. If you were having a "Bad" Monday, it would never last, because the minute you walked in and saw John he could always make you laugh, with a joke or something. He had a special way about him,always making the other person laugh. We will miss him greatly. Our hearts are a little more sad, and a place is missing, but the memories are always there.
Love
