I knew John while in high school at ST. Angela Academy. He was always smiling, smart, and a good friend of mine. RIP John, you earned it.

I knew John in High School at St. Angela Academy in Aiken, SC. He was always very polite and mannerly. God bless you, John. You are remembered with a smile.

A wonderful friend to my dad while they were both at Georgia War Veterans Home. He was always kind, considerate and respectful to me and my wife on our visits to see him. He loved America and served our country in the Navy. He once met President Eisenhower as a 15 year old boy. A true patriot and a good person. May God rest his soul in peace.
