May God grant you comfort and understanding during this difficult time. John and I went back to Martinez Elementary School days and although I only saw him sparingly throughout the years time was never enough to break the old neighborhood ties. Just know your family is on my mind and in my prayers.

I went to college with John "Congo" at Southern Tech. He lived on the first floor of Howell Dorm and Russell lived across the hall from him. He always had his door open and spoke to everyone he saw. He was always so nice and funny. He always made me laugh. He recognized me from being up at the old Archery club near Raysville, my first day at Southern Tech. He spoke to me and it gave me the sense of being close to home. He will be missed. My prayers are with you and your family.

To the Congleton Family,
You do not know me, but I grew up with John and Robert in Edgewood, and it has been many many years since I have seen or spoken to either one. What I can remember though is riding our bicycles through the neighborhood with John , and Robert and Steven Puckett. John and Robert always had the sweetest bikes, "Redline, and or Mongoose". What fond memories, I have not thought of in a long long time. I am so sorry for your loss, but know that he is in a much better place, a place we only dream about and look forward too,, HEAVEN, let me assure you it is real. Our prayers are with you in your time of loss

Tonya, Michael, and Jacob, I don't know what to say except that I am truly sorry for your loss. John was one of my good friends and I will never forget the time we shared together enjoying one of his favorite past times; smoking cigars. I will always remember not only the cigars we shared but the projects we worked on together.
May God bless you all in this time of need. I will continue to pray for the three of you.
With respect and love

To the Congleton family,
I had a lot of contact with John while working with projects submitted to the county. He was one of the nicest architects to work with. He was such a pleasant person. He will be missed. Praying for all of his family and friends during these difficult days ahead. John was a great man.

Dear Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I write to extend my condolences to you on the death of your loved one.
It is in times like these we must place our lives and hope in the welcoming arms and ears of Christ – who is well equipped to comfort and keep us during this difficult time.
With kind regards, I remain,
July 6, 2009
Tonya, Mallory, and Cary, I cannot begin to express my sorrow at hearing about John. You know he was no ordinary friend and coworker to me, he was always my "girlfriend". I love him, as everyone here in the office does and will miss him terribly. I'm so sorry for your loss and we will keep you in our prayers - always. All my love, Patricia Wilson/HBOL Architects
