John T. Stokes

I just received this sad news this afternoon. John T and I were roommates for a few years in school. We worked for John R and Betty at Stokes Slide Services. We had many fun years at UT. I will always remember our mugs hanging above the bar at Hansel and Gretel and being filled as soon as we hit the door. Sad news

Mark &I learned of John´s passing this morning. We are deeply sorry for your loss.We met John T in the early 70s, he was a groomsman in our wedding 50yrs ago.He was a big part of our lives in those early years,the first of our friends to hold our newborn son(1979).We were so happy to meet his beautiful family in later years.I thought of him this morning out of the blue and came upon this sad news.We loved him and are sending love to all of you.

To James and family, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your families will be in my prayers!

Janet I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I´m so sorry I could not be there to celebrate, but I know it was a very special service. I always enjoyed John T´s handmade soft-serve ice cream made for family gatherings at Mema´s. He was genuinely old-fashioned in only the best ways.

Peace be with the Stokes family- Brenda Johnson

Though John T. and I did not agree on everything, he was always reliable. A good man is gone. Showing his regard for his uncle, our oldest son, Andy Craig, is well on his way from Tallahassee to Thorndale, where he will represent our branch of the family at John T.'s Celebration of Life.
