John was a long time friend of mine. We had a lot of good times together. I would have been there if I would have known. He will be sadly missed by all. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with the Ledford family.

Words cant express the sadness I have from hearing about the loss of John. Living in North Carolina now and being away from all the great friends and families that you grew up around in Lindenwald, when visiting back home you truly learn to appreciate how special and close your old friends really are to you. Led is one of those special friends. Ill sure miss seeing Led now when I get back home. But I have nothing but great and funny memories about that guy that he has left me with. May God be with you John and may God be with the Ledford family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew John from Garfield and I too was one that had a crush from a far to shy to express it.:) I pray that in time all those good memories will ease your pain.

How sorry I was to hear of the loss of John. I was one of the many girls from George Washington and Garfield that had an ever lasting crush. It has probably been 33 years since I last saw you, just an example of the power of your presence. I live over 200 miles from Hamilton and received a call from my family to let me know of this great loss. May God be with your family at this sad sad time. An old friend.
