I remember when Mr. and Mrs. would come into the Charolais when they came back to NC to visit. He was always so kind and friendly to the staff and everyone. He was always smiling and upbeat--we were always glad to see them. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Sending prayers and love to the family.

After 70 years of.friendship, John's passing has left a void in my life. But within that void there is joy and rejoicing for my friend who is now made whole by his Savior Jesus. The greatest story that I can share about John is the day Jesus drew him to himself and said, Come, follow me; you are now mine and a child of God. And now the angels rejoice as John has entered his eternal home. Welcome home, John; well done good and faithful servant.
