I only knew Poppa John for a few months because of his grandson, Charlie. But those few months were months that I will never forget and cherish forever. We love you and miss you Poppa John. See you on the other side.

Papa John was a wonderful man. His wit and humor will be missed greatly by everyone that has had the pleasure of knowing him. May God be with you all during our time of separation from him. We will see you again in heaven one day, Papa John!

To Ms Lou and family,
I wish you God's blessings in this time. I am thankful for the time I knew John Boggs. He was a wonderful man and I will always value the memories and stories he shared. He gave me some good advice along the way and I hope I can keep it in my heart and mind. Last, I will never hear a jet fly overhead without hearing him say "There goes my boys"!! Now I know he is flying higher than ever! I will miss him!
