My wife and I were so sorry to hear about John's passing. He will live in our hearts for the rest of our days.

John was a true friend for over 40 years. I cannot thank him and his family enough for all their support in my life. They were always there whenever tragedy struck. I can't imagine enduring all the trials in my life without his friendship.

My God bless him, Garnet and the rest of his family and see them through this time of loss.
