Not sure what to say?

“Don’t be tellin me something like that!!!” This is typically the time of year that John would be telling people to put their money on the Steelers.

God bless my uncle John I loved him so much he was so happy go lucky and I loved that about him so relaxed in his own skin and cheerful! I wish we had more time together and got to watch more games together! But I will never forget you and hope that we reunite again 1 day!

My deepest sympathy to the Jenkins family. John was an old friend and neighbor growing up in Clarks Summit. Many great memories we shared. You will be greatly missed by everyone.

Brother John: A true testament of one´s character is the lasting and unforgettable impression they make on the memory of people they have met over the years of a lifetime. Having known John for such a very long time, I know this truth to be self evident. Without question, it is my unmistakable belief that no one who has ever met him would ever forget. Rest in peace my dear brother John. My prayers at this most difficult time are with brothers Ed, Tommy, Jeff & Todd. Jamie Lawrence Just...

John was a special! You couldn't meet a nicer guy. We first met when both in grade school on Burcher St. He became one of my best and loyal friends and remained so through life. Those who knew John will never forget his one liners and phrases that will stick with us forever. I often would refer to him as a legend and will never forget the great times, conversations and laughs we had over the years. I send my condolences to brothers Ed, Thomas, Jeff, Todd and cousin Carl.

It´s a sad day in the Summit & a sad day in Falls. Such good memories from the golf league at Summit Hills and the Falls Invitational Softball Tournamens. Condolences to his brothers. We will never forget "Tuna".
