Not sure what to say?

To the family of John Mountain: I was saddened to hear of the passing of John. I had the privilege to have worked under John at Redstone Arsenal and I considered him more than a supervisor for he was a dear friend. He was a man of integrity, character, compassion, and intelligence. Forgive me for not attending the services but I didn't know of his passing until today. Gerome Hilliard

Mr. Mountain, you have impacted my life in so many ways. I learned of your death the same day I was emailing you to let you know that my baby girl would be here really soon. I hate you will not get to hold her, but I know you will always look down on us. I will truly miss emailing you and talking about football with you.
Love always,
Your nurse forever,
Le'Tracey Tuck,LPN

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

I have known Braxton for 20 years by working with his brother, Delaine. He was always so kind when i talked to him. I truly admired the relationship he and Delaine had which was a "brother" bond like no other. Rest in Peace Braxton and I'll look after your "brother" for you!

What an honor and privilege to know such a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Scottie Chesnutt

John was a very sweet man, he was a great boss. I worked for him in 1985, MICOM, he was a true professional. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Another leaf has fallen from our family tree.
I was so saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a very sweet, thoughtful man with a lively personality and a quick wit. He will be greatly missed. I am already missing his wonderful emails. :)
RIP John and tell Betty ‘Hi' for me.

John was one of the smartest men I have ever worked with. He also had a great sense of humor. I have many stories I could share about my time with him. We lost a great man.

As an employee of MICOM in the 1960's, I recall typing (Yes, we were still typing then)for John. His handwriting was perfect. He was most appreciative and always a gentleman. May it comfort you that thoughts and prayers are with you. Camilla Spencer
