John and I grew up together in the same Toulminville neighborhood. He was a bigger than life person even then. He was an excellent baseball player. One of my fondest memories was when he invited me to go with him to see The King and His Court to play a softball game at Hartwell Field. Our family moved to Oklahoma in 1967, and I never got the chance to see him again. I´m happy to hear about his faith in God, so will see him again one day in our eternal home.

John Elmus Atchison and Patricia Atchison was married for 20 years. A wonderful man. People find it hard to believe, but we never, ever had an argument in 20 years. We never raised our voices to each. He was a hard working provider and a wonderful father. His life revolved around his family.
