Marie and family,
Rick and I are so very sorry to hear about John's passing after your tragic accident. We will always remember you as our dear friends, the first ones we made when we moved to Jacksonville 11 years ago. John was a wonderful friend and a great man of God. He is with our heavenly Father and we will see him again one day. God be with you as you grieve for John...we pray that you will find the peace and comfort that belongs to those who know that they will spend eternity...

My heartfelt sympathy to John's family. It had been my pleasure to know him as far back as his days with Springfield Marine Bank. He was a gentleman. I admired his dedication to running.

May God bless and keep John and the whole Wilcox Family.
