Only words I can use to describe John is he was a kind, caring and sharing person. He pushed his self for others way past the comfort zone. Glad to have been your friend.

I knew John at Henry Clay elementary. Totally lost track of him until I moved back to Ashland in 2012 and found him living in the house next door. What a great guy! Always the first to help someone out in the neighborhood. Always hanging out after work hours, enjoying a smoke in the yard. Always there to share a laugh with, no matter how crazy things would get.
I missed you when you moved out, and now I regret not keeping in touch. You were a good soul, John Jolly!

Our condolences go out to the family.
My husband and I worked with Jolly at McGeorge’s Rolling Hills RV. There are some people that make work worth it on the dreariest of days—that was Jolly. Always in a good mood, always smiling and what a great laugh! He will be greatly missed.
