Not sure what to say?

Hey Miss Bonnie, I'm so sorry to learn of Mr. John's passing. You guys are such a nice family! I hope you all are doing okay, I'm thinking of you and praying for you even these months later!
Take care,
Cheryl from Springhill Med Center

I had the privilege of taking care of Mr. Bruhl in the hospital, including the night he passed away. He was a very nice, pleasant man who was loved dearly by his family. 5My prayers and thoughts go out to him and his family.

Bonnie, Nancy told me of your loss of John. He must have been a good man and Jack and I send our sympathy to you and your family.

"Big John" In loving memory of a wonderful man who will live in our hearts forever. We will love you and miss you always.

I enjoyed knowing and working with Big John at Unocal's Chunchula Plant. He was a very pleasant person to be around and will be missed by many. My sympathy to his family. From fomer Chunchula Plant Manager.

Daddy, thanks for being the calm in the storm. I grew up sitting, quietly, in the middle of the red canoe during countless camping trips. I spent numerous weekend dodging bottle rockets and catching sand crabs on Sand Island. Both of us dancing by the moonlight, all the while, balanced on your feet. You taught me how to shoot, camp, fish, hunt, and the importance of a pocket knife. Most important, you taught me how to survive, in the wild and in life. Long before the Marine Corp ever did....

Big John lived his life with the candle lit at both ends and the middle catching. I hope he's having as much fun in the next life as he had in this one. Love, Sherri.

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to school with Tank and remember him as very upbeat, funny, kind-hearted and somewhat of a gentle giant. Your family will be in my prayers.

John Michael was a big man in size, spirit and heart, he lived life rather than watching it go by. I know one of the best choices I made in life was to ask John Michael to adopt my daughter Brandy and become her "Dad". May God bless him in his new home in heaven.
