Not sure what to say?

Suzi,
What a wonderful article about John in today's N & O. John became my insurance agent some 35 years ago. He was always so patient and gracious. My wife and I will greatly miss him both professionally and as a friend.

Mike, I appreciate you letting me know the passing of your dad. I never had the chance to meet your dad face to face but we had built a wonderful working relationship. He was a very special person and cared for his clients in the business world. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family. He will be missed, he brought smiles and laughter to our daily world. His memories will continue to live on through his family.

All of us will miss John at the Southern Cross Club and hope, when you are ready, that you will find your way back here and find peace.

Suzi-Q, I can't find the words to express how very sorry I am for your lost. John will be missed by many. Please know that I am thinking about you and that I will be to see you soon. I love and miss you dearly!

Suzi, Michael and Kate-
I cannot find the words to express my sympathy to you in your loss of John.

I have many fond memories of fishing trips with John. He was the person that introduced me to fly fishing, which I have grown to love, thanks to John.

I most of all enjoyed the times we would go to the Roanoke River or the coast fishing and would have a great time sharing about our families, marriage, raising kids and politics (and sometimes religion).
Suzi,...

John always had a warm smile and you felt he was genuinely glad to see you. My wife a Durfey-Hoover-Bowden said he always was a people-oriented person.
My prayers and sympathy to his family as he will be greatly missed - but he did live a rewarding and richly filled life.

Suzi,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children. You and John fought the long fight and were most courageous.

John will surely be missed. His hunting buddies at Smith Creek enjoyed his humor. Our sympathy goes to his family and loved ones.

Rocky and Rhonda Tew

My sympathies and prayers are with John's family and friends. Jan Klavon
