I LOVED my Dad. He did a good job raising us. I miss him so much and I am thankful for him. We had so much fun with him, he made us laugh all the time and he listened to us when we needed him to hear us. He was a great Dad.

John and I graduated high school together, went on to WT, where we were both in ROTC. I can't remember how I found out, but we were stationed at the same base in Vietnam. I looked him up and we had a good visit with someone from back home. We also worked at the TEXAS production at the same time in Palo Duro Canyon. So sorry to hear of his passing! Rest in peace, old friend.

I enjoyed the friendship I had with John after he started coming to my Sunday School class at Trinity Baptist Church this past year. God heals all wounds.

We met John through the Traveling Supremes RV club. He always seemed to enjoy visiting with his fellow RV'ers. He picked on me because I was an ALABAMA fan and he was an OU fan! We had a Rally in Canyon and got a backstage tour of the drama TEXAS. John was one of the singers in the troupe while in college. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire listening to his stories about that time in his life. We also loved to hear him sing. Rest in peace, John. You will be missed.
