I want to commend you for the very appropriate public celebration of your fathers life. The community has lost our premier historian, story teller, harmonica player and author. I often sat with him at Rotary and greatly enjoyed his company and friendship.

Carolyn and Rick sorry to hear of Mr. Appleyard's passing. Many great memories.

Mr. Appleyard was such a kind, intelligent and giving soul. Always enjoyed his talks and visiting with him at events downtown. What a positive impact he made on so many in his life. He will be missed.

One of the most beloved and respected gentlemen in Pensacola. May you find comfort n knowing others care.

Our sincere condolences. When someone you love becomes a memory, they become a treasure in your heart forever. May your treasured memories fill your heart with love and bring you peace. May God be with family and friends.

We both were honored to have known John for so many years and have the greatest memories of him as a very special friend, mentor, and just the wonderful person he was. Like all of Pensacola, we will greatly miss John and Eleanor. You are all in our thoughts and prayers! With love, Bill and Tish Pennewill
