John,
You were a wonderful godfather and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I am truly going to miss the games of old maid that we would play every time I came over. You were also a wonderful friend that will be missed. I cry because I know that I will miss you and I wont get those wonderful emails anymore that you would send to brighten up my day. To the Wallace Family- My heart opens up to you in this hard time. He was a great person and he will be missed by many. He will be with...

Dear Joy & Skip & extended family - John was such a WONDERFUL person and I truly will miss him! My heart aches to know that I won't be getting any more calls or emails from John. I will always remember how much he cared for Eric and Lisa and what a wonderful 'grandfather' he was to them! He was gifted in so many ways - wood working, landscaping, swimming, biking but more importantly, he was full of love and passion and that's what made him John. Please know that you are in my thoughts...
