Not sure what to say?

I worked with John in security. He shared many of his experiences in the military and his law enforcement career. I really enjoyed our conversations, and he told me about his family and how he cared for them, and his co workers. I want to express my condolences to the family. Just today heard about his passing. Rest In Peace, friend.

John was the security at the springlake center when i was djaying the pwp dances. We got to be close freinds and realy enjoyed talking about music. May he rip. Doug Cantrell

One of my favorites to routinely cross path with during my Alarm Servicing years [Lakemore, Sterling Inc and other locations].
RIP Big John..

Been telling Joe and Megan about you and your Truly Tasteless Jokes book. Joe looked it up and read some of the jokes out loud to us. Lord dad, those jokes were terrible. No wonder mom wanted to strangle you. I'm buying a copy of that book, and whenever I'm sad I'm going to read some of those horrible jokes, and think of you and laugh. Love you dad. Rest easy now.
