Hello Meta. I saw the lovely obit on John and was so very sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through. Please accept our most sincere sympathy. Bill and I are keeping all of you in our daily prayers. God Bless all of you. Cary and Bill Stevens

I first met Mr. Loftin through the Old Hickory Council of the Boy Scouts Of America. First when I was a Cub Scout going on field trips to McLean Trucking to see and ride in a big rig, then becoming a member of Explorer Post 783 sponsored through the Winston-Salem Police Department. I eventually aged out and began serving as the Adviser for the Police Explorer program and as the Council Adviser for the 8 counties in our area. Mr. Loftin was a STAUNCH supporter of scouting at all levels as well...

Mr. Loftin was my boss for several years. Such a sweet and caring person. Meta was such a sweet person and I just loved her southern accent!! So sorry for your loss... but what a life well lived!!

What a life well lived ! John and Meta were neighbors of my Mother and me. Their beautiful daughter taught my children how to swim. I´m sending love and condolences to the family of this kind man. Louise Parrish Perry
