Jo, Katie, and Family: You are all in my thoughts and prayers. John was an amazing friend to so many people. He was always a magnet for laughter and positive energy. I'm sure he and my father are sitting together upstairs amongst a big group cracking jokes and reminiscing.

My Friend John,
We started our relationship as adversaries. Once we finally met and grew to know each other, we became dear Friends. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know you. Rest in Peace, My Friend.

Our thoughts and prayers for your loss. John was always good to us through the trust department. He and my parents were really good friends from Morganfield. He helped us many times to secure our financial future and interests but was real personable too.
