Not sure what to say?

My dearest little brother, I want to thank you for allowing me to be your big brother. You called on me throughout your life with questions and concerns and asked for advice about what direction do I go now. I know you enjoyed your growing up with family and friends and I will truely miss our little talks. I will truely miss you, big guy. Although sometimes it was hard to show it, I truely loved you more than life itself. You were my baby brother, and for that, you were number 1 in my heart....

I enjoyed every minute of my time with John (even in the hole) at PHS! I will always remember #62 in the huddle and know that "Tubby" is in a better place still making every block. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Panthers Forever!

Sorry to hear about uu rr brother John, UU Have my sympathy !!

I didn't really know John, but Neil was my best friend all through school. Want to give my sympathy to Neil and his family. Will be praying for all, family and friends.

Another good man gone too soon. My deepest sympathies to John's family and beloved friends.

I just want to say that I worked with John at an office supply co many years ago 1984-1986. What I remember most about him is that he was always in a good mood and that he never got wrapped up in the gossip at work! He was a good man. I recognized his name in the paper the minute I saw it. I just want to say I am sorry for your loss.

To a good man, and good friend. I can't believe you're gone. After hanging out for 20 plus years, I'm sorry we didn't stay in touch this past year. If I would have known you were sick I would have visited often. I didn't get to say goodbye and that hurts. So I'm saying it now.I know you are in a good place and I will see you again someday. Now you can set back with a cold one and listen to the blues, but never have the blues. God bless you and you're family. keith

Dear John, As it has been with many of my reconnected PHS classmates, I didn't know you personally at Plant, still I'd like to express my condolences to those you left behind, as yours will now be a time of rejoicing in incredible peace, others will surely miss you deeply.

Blessings to the many who did know and love John, and may your hearts be forever filled with his memory.
