John L. Paxton

I was just talking with a friend about how John was in my acting class for a number of years... Just did a google search and found this so sorry to hear... He was a great guy.

So sorry to hear,

Over the last few years I had become Mr Paxtons tv repair man and friend. I hadn't heard from him for the last few months, and had wondered where my friend was. Then I was truly saddened to learn of his passing. Such a kind and thoughtful soul, always eager to know the health and well being of my wife and son. I am sorry sorry now for his wife and families loss. He was a great soul and the memory of his soft voice and kind words will stay with me. Good bye...

Dear Mary Lou, Bob, Bill, Steve and Ann,
As a member of the Paxton Lumber family for thirty five years, I can recall many memorable stories in my association with John. He was a unique and rare individual who went all all out to remember names and show the utmost courtesy to everyone with whom he came in contact. I always remember his response when I told him he looked especially dapper. In his kindness, he said "Just trying to keep up with you". A true gentleman and he will be...

It was an honor to get to know John, as well as work with him. Every time he came on set his smile illuminated the room. I had many of conversations with him and I felt more inspired each time we talked. He sure loved the root beer. In a lot of ways, he reminded me of myself and I will always be thankful for my time shared with him. RIP buddy and may your smile shine down on us all.

I have thought of John and all the Paxtons through the years with great pleasure. I was saddened to read of John's passing in the morning paper. I invite all the Paxtons to come back to your old house on Byers anytime. I have a great guesthouse where your garage used to be!
I hope to see you soon. JOE MINTON

I'm saddened to learn of John's passing. I enjoyed working with him on the set of Oz: The Great and Powerful. I admire his sense of humor and presence and will miss him. To his family, I hope that you will know no further sorrow.
