I was a friend of John's when he attended Southeast High. In fact I had a real crush on him. When I last saw him Johnny was a little boy, about 3. His time on this earth was to short but he left a mark. I am proud to have known him.

I'm so sorry to hear about John. Karen my thoughts are with you. John was such a kind and gentle soul. I have quite a few good memories of Mark and I at your house. I know you miss him terribly, but you'll always have him in your heart.

John

All it would take was one word, '' Hay ''. To hear it , John said hay and I would smile, hundred of miles away. You will be missed, so till I see you again , Hay,

I will miss you

Johnny

Jhon....YOU WILL be MISSED very much, the years that I was blessed to know you will never be forgotten..sistor Dawn.....Love You Karen my condolences are with you

Brother John,
While dozing off the other day I dreamt you had died. I woke filled with awful dread until I realized it was only a disturbing dream. Ecstatic feelings of joy replaced the dread. Immediately I realize you really are gone. John, this has hit me harder than Missouri black top in November leaving deep scars. You left me with eternal scars of memories. I learned so much from you and did my best to do as you in daily encounters. I can think of no other I would emulate so...

Leanna,Thank you for everything you have done & are doing.Just goes to show love may fade, but never goes away.Thanks for proving that.

Johnny,
I was there when you were born; three years old then. I was the first of Grandma Marry's grand children and you the second. We took our first trip together from KC,Mo.to San Pedro CA. Guess I was maybe five or six then. Took three days, no freeways. I regret we never saw each other after you joined the Navy and we only talked a few times on the phone. It's sad for me to think we can never speak to eachother in this life however God willing we can in heaven. Your cousin Vern...
