So sad to hear of his passing. Mr. Tooley was my bus driver in high school, he was a great man. He was funny and kind, but didn't let anybody behave badly on the bus. He really meant a lot to me and my aunt.

There aren't enough words to express the sympathy and heartache I feel for the entire family... I don't have many memories of my childhood without the Tooleys there. Big John and Big Lana were my second parents. His warm smile and bigger than life personality is what I will remember most. I'm grateful that I knew him and what a special man and father he was.... You will certainly be missed...

I had John a few times for a bus driver, he also drove me a few times when I went back after I graduated with an IEP Diploma. I went for My GED. Diploma. And I got my GED in 2009. I will miss his good laughs and jokes. You left this Earth to soon. You will be missed. I guess Heaven needed another Bus driver. Also the prayers for your Family.
