Not sure what to say?

John was a wonderful person, caring father and grandfather and son to Speed & Grace. My thoughts and prayers to Sarah, the family and friends.

In memory of one of the greatest men i have ever delt with in my 45 years in the concrete industry. R.I. P. Johny

In high school, I looked up to John; to me he was the epitome of "coolness". To this day, I still make my capital "J" when signing my name the same way he did. We were in Explorers together. To my knowledge, he never looked down on anyone. The world was a better place with him in it.

John you will always be a great friend. May we meet again someday. Gary

Eternal Affection Arrangement- BASKET INCLUDED

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. My sympathy goes out to the families. I grew up with Johnny in the Government Village gang. Had listen to his practicing the piano and then the saxophone. He was truly a great friend all these years. I’ll miss him dearly.

May God give Sarah and the family strength during this difficult time and season. May the peace of him walking with Jesus in heaven help them in your grief.
My condolences.

So sad. Condolences to the family. Wish I had more comforting words. Know your in our thoughts and prayers.

Our Sincere Condolences to Sarah and Family for the loss of John. Our Thoughts and Prayers!
