Not sure what to say?

John was a timeless hero never to be forgotten. A steady source of confidence that never diminished. 0f this I will always remember my friend and his endless presence. God speed John Munroe.

Georgia, Kenneth and I have you and your family in our prayers. Sorry to read of John’s passing. Milta

John was attentive to his neighbors and helpful and kind. I always enjoyed our talks and his sense of community. We have missed his presence at the beach.







Of my most esteemed friend John was a person of enormous character, humor and optimism. A fraternity brother. Student of history, especially the American Civil War he was intrigued with the why the generals did what they did. John was a soldier, a patriot a true friend of whom I was humbled to know and will never forget. God speed John Patrick.

My heart goes out to you and your family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. John was a kind, sweet person and he always made me laugh.

I really enjoyed working with John when I first moved to Wilmington. He taught me a lot about recruiting and helped me learn my way around Wilmington and Brunswick County.

Mr. John was one of the best! We were so lucky to be friends and neighbors for so long. So many wonderful memories! Time changes but the love for the people in life stays the same. All our love to Ms. Georgia, Courtney, JP and family.

Georgia and family, So very sorry for your loss. John and I met at WPVFD when his Dad was the Chief. Later we caught up with each other at the reunions at the old WPVFD building. He was a good man and will be missed by all.

Georgia,
We all met at Wilmington College (now UNC-W). While we didn't see each other often, it was a pleasure for Lib and I to run into ya'll on occasions. I'm so sorry to hear about John. May God's grace sustain you and the family in this time.
