We remember John Henry growing up in the neighborhood and school. He was always a good person with his shy smile and he would always acknowledge you whenever he saw you. Blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted. May the blessings of God be upon you, May His peace abide with you, May the essence of His love illuminate your heart and comfort you in this time of sorrow.

I had the honor and privilege to have had John as a coworker at Oxford Water Works. We worked side by side for 5 years and rode together every day. During that time we became very close friends and I will forever cherish that friendship. John was the most giving person a knew and he had a great sense of humor. Every day at work he would have me laughing or we would have great conversations about sports. John and I became like brothers during our time working together. Him retiring two years ago was so bittersweet in a selfish way for me. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. The world has lost a great person I´ve lost a great friend. Until we meet again John Blake!!!
