Not sure what to say?

Still miss the big guy after the passing years. God Bless you Brenda stay safe. John Brown.

Great friend and college roommate.

John was my manager at Bentley Laboratories. He hired me to work with him in South Texas and did we ever. Eventually placing this territory in the top five in the nation. I have many wonderful memories with John and knew of his keen interest in hunting which he did a lot of around "Goathwaite"? Spelling is off but somehow remember his cabin south of Dallas. Brenda I will never forget you either as you always were a terrific hostess when John would host his region over to his house. Oh...

John and I were good friends during our junior high and senior high school days in Johnstown, PA. We roomed together for two years at SMU, and also roomed and worked together in Chicago during the summer of 1963. I never had a better friend. John was one of the most even-tempered persons I ever knew. The last time I saw John was at our 30th high school reunion in June of 1991. May the blessings and our peace, Who is Jesus Christ, be with you in your loss.

John was one of my heroes growing up. My Dad, Dudley Parker, was a coach at SMU with John. I was in elementary school and John was bigger than life. He was a big part of my Dad's early years at SMU. Thanks for the memories, John! Go Mustangs!

Brenda, we did not have the privilege of meeting John. It seemed we were never home at just the right time. But we know how special he was to you, so we want to send our sincerest condolences to you and your family. We will be praying for you. God WILL see you through this very difficult time. Blessings, Cousin Pearl (and Tom). Love you

We were saddened to her of John's passing. He was a special person and we are proud to call him our friend. We will miss the conversations on the patio deck where much laughter was shared during your annual summer visits to Newfoundland. We will continue to ask for God's strength and comfort during this difficult time. We know He's grace is sufficient. Your friends, Eric and Shirley Dawe, Deer Lake, Newfoundland.
