Not sure what to say?

Words cannot describe how sorry to hear of John's passing. RIP John. Prayers to Mare & the family.

My deepest condolences on the passing of John. John was always special to my husband George. George loved driving with him. John fly high with the angels until we all meet again.

MaryEllen and family, I am deeply saddened by the passing of my youngest cousin. He was always a good guy. I am glad that he made so made great friends driving a truck, like his father before him. May your memories give you comfort. I know that your family will provide love and support. You are in my prayers, and Dom's. May he rest in peace.

John was a special gentleman. He had a wonderful wit and sense of humor which he shared with his fellow members of INYC. I enjoyed seeing him on the weekends spending time at the yacht club. Very sorry for the loss, we will all miss him, but will hold all of the memories in our hearts.

Favorable winds, following seas and plentiful fish!

Rest in peace my friend

Hello. I worked with John for my entire career at Old Dominion Freight, over 20 years. John helped me out in every way that was possible. He was the most capable man I ever knew, & the best driver of trucks I ever saw. He would talk lovingly about his wife & family at times. I will miss John Sands. Rest In Peace my friend.

I worked with John at Old Dominion for four years before I moved to Tucson. I liked working with him and are late night talks. He will be missed. Rest In Peace my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
