My family has known John my entire life. He has lived down the road from me as far back as I can remember. Him and my father were great friends and were always playing jokes on each other(takin each others tools for example)- he always had a kind/funny word for us and did not hold back on anything. He was always laughin.
I am very sorry to hear about John. wont see him goin to the corner store, callin the house to check up on mom or just passin by throwin his hands up in the air. He will be greatly missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. We loved you John!!

John will be missed, although he wasn't our blood uncle he was our uncle John. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO (John 14:2,3).

John will be missed by many unmentioned friends and family members. He was always a good man in his own right and willing to help others; even when he was a lost sole. We all are very glad that he had found God and his righteous path before his passing. We will miss you Uncle John and we all loved you.
