Not sure what to say?

Bubba and Betty, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I have many fond memories growing up with your family on Fairbanks Drive and your dad taking us out to the old airport to fly the remote control planes which I know he loved. I also remember the boat he built. Your dad was always so nice to me. My deepest sympathies to you and your families.

I always admired John for always trying new things and sticking diligently with projects to a positive outcome, he will be missed. Our prayers are with his family and to the people at Tetracam, they have lost so much recently. Know that our prayers are with you.

John truly was a gentleman and a scholar. He never said an unpleasant word about anyone and he always shared his enthusiasm for learning. His legacy will remain through thousands of students he enlightened and encouraged.

Dr. Alexander was a brilliant man. I enjoyed working with him when he was at the University of North Florida. Losing him is a great loss, as he was a man of great knowledge and such a wonderful humanitarian. To the family, thank you for sharing Dr. Alexander with the UNF Family and I pray that you will make it through this difficult time.

Dear Bubba and Betty,
Ray, Carol and I send our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family in this time of your great loss.

I remember you very fondly as students at Caroline Brevard School and your mother Linda and John at Calvary UMC. I also remember your family in the neighborhood on Fairbanks Dr. We were fairly close as I remember.

John died very young, just as my husband Jackie did 10 years ago at 67, so I speak from experience.
Again, prayers and...
