I will miss seeing John's face and smile when he and Donna come through drive-thru at McDonald's. Sorry for the loss of a great business man, husband, father, grandfather and most importantly a follower of Jesus Christ.
With deepest sympathies

Donna, so sorry to hear about the passing of John. I consider him one of the great friends I had known in my life .although we drifted apart the last few years I always considered him a great friend. Enjoyed our talks at McDonald’s in Frankfort and our fishing trips. I know he will be missed.
Thanks for the memories Ronnie Ray.

Always remember Uncle John as a kid and his smile. It looked at first like a smirk, then could grow to a big smile. He was 15 years younger than my dad, the oldest, and closer in age to my oldest cousins. We'll remember you as the smooth, level-headed, good natured Uncle Johnny! - nephew Mike Greer
