Not sure what to say?

Still sadly missed and often spoken about with many fond memories love to all the Atwood family.

Forever in our thoughts, sadly missed, RIP John

Janet,Johnny and Family
Please accept my sympathies at the loss of John. I was just informed - news travels slowly here on the island. I enjoyed working for John more than any employer in my career. He was thoughtful and considerate , and genuinely interested in his people. During the time I spent at AOI in the mid 70's the people worked for the man and not the company.

To the Atwood Family

My deepest sympathies with your loss. John and your family were a great help with my work on the Atwood Family Tree. I appreciated your knowledge and willingness to share. He will be missed by us all.

Dear Johnny, Kathy & Atwood Family,

It brought tears hearing about your Dad. What an unbelievable man. He was so supportive. He would pat me on the back even after you left for college, Johnny. He would even send me notes of encouragement when we were about to face a big team, like Conroe. I am so fortunate to have known him.

Dear Janet & Family

Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. John will be missed by all those who were fortunate to know him and call him a friend. Both Carol-anne and myself will always have fond memories of you and John, also his uncanny knack of tracking us down when we were at Horse Shows throughout the U.K.

Dear Atwoods,

I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember him giving so much time and love not only to his family but to their friends as well. Atwood Oceanics was my first job! I thank God for having crossed my path with Susy and the other Bayou Bums so many years ago. Love, Cynthia Cagle Hawkins

To John, Beth and the Atwood Family,

We are very sad to hear of your loss. Our condolences to the whole family. It was a privilege to have worked with John. We've loss a good friend.
