Not sure what to say?

John is celebrating his 1st year in the presence of Jesus our Lord and Savior. What a wonderful year it must be and we can all look forward to seeing them both when we are called. RIP John.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow john will be missed by all of us....Bee and Doug Jenkins

Mr Walpole was a very kind man and I learned a lot about life through his stories he told me. I've been his FedEx delivery driver for over 10 years and he always called me skipper. I used to see him sitting in his recliner snoring and running back and forth with the golf cart catching fish to put in his pond in front of his house to make sure the kids would catch fish. You will be missed.

Condolences to the Walpole family; comfort in the fact that he is in the loving arms of his Savior and his life was a testament and witness for the Kingdom of God. -Ari Acevedo

Thinking of you and you family in the loss of John. We went to school together and although years and miles separated me from my school mates I always remembered our teenage years at St. John’s . May God comfort you and family during this time. God Bless, Evelyn Acklin Glover

Teddy, Bill, and Family, So sorry to hear of John´s passing. Sending my deepest sympathy, love, and prayers. May your faith and God help your loss. God Bless.

Prayers and condolences.

John was an acquaintance one doesn't easily forget. I can remember back in the 80's when he owned the John Deere tractor company, and what a great job he did running that organization. John was always a fair man in his business dealings and commanded tremendous respect. Of course we all knew Teddy was the one that made it all work out. Teddy, I'm sure John is in a better place now. May God bless you and your entire family. Respectfully, Rick Buckner
