I am so very sad for the loss of Jr. He was my cousin, and in our family cousins mean a lot. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, and a fantastic bon fire starter and hot dog roaster. He will be missed.
Sending a lot of love and prayers. I love you all so much, Tracey

He was always pretty quiet. I know he loved his family very much. And he always made me feel welcome even though maybe at times I stayed too long. My thoughts and prayers are with Sharon and her family.

I was fortunate to work with John on the farm as a teenager growing up, cutting tobacco, putting up hay, alway were good memories, John was a dear friend to my dad during his declining health and nothing can ever repay John and Sharon for the kindness they showed him in his final years, just shows how good neighbors are they go above and beyond in being neighborly. John was a special man and will be dearly missed, our deepest sympathy for your family in this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed working with John at Joy Mining, he was always willing to help and a very hard worker. The thing I remember most about John was he always had a smile on his face and I had never saw him get upset over anything.
