My absolute favorite science teacher!! Loved our fun times and his smile, our late night cookies and milk when he couldn't sleep, our discussions about using the paddle and our "eyes on each other" jestures. Fortunate to have had time caring for him, a truly special family I will always remember. My thoughts and prayers are now with his wife and family.

It was always a pleasure being across the street neighbors on Running Creek and knowing John. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May you find peace in your memories of the love and special times you had together.

John Sure was a great story teller and fun to work with.

Remembering your great love story today and always.

I have known John from childhood. We both were members of Lynnhurst UCC and sang in children's choir together.

Condolescences to the John Poore family. John was my supervisor for 28 years as I led a crew painting the Gym floors for JCPS. John was a great person to work for and personally I send regards to the family.

It was a pleasure caring for Mr. Poore over the past few years at the Forum at Brookside. I will always remember his humor, his stories, his smile, his love of sports and especially, the love of his wife. He was our gentle giant. He will be missed daily but I will always remember the many funny days we shared. Thanks for choosing us to care for him. We are blessed to be a part of his life and him to be a part of ours.

Uncle John had a great sense of humor. I remember some of his impersonations... John Wayne and Bela Lugosi were my favorites.Memory Eternal <
