So sorry for your loss. I missed his obituary but saw Shirley's. We loved connecting with them at DUI Victims although it was for such a sad reason. I told Shirley it was a sorority I hoped never to join. I know they both are now with Shelley as we will someday join Summer. Peace be with you all.

As one of his McDonald's friends, I really liked John. Sly humor combined with a gentleman's personality. You always had to check your pockets when you left...you might find a jelly packet or a used napkin!

John was one of the "good guys". As an appraiser peer and roots in Anthony, my hometown, he was always an encouragement. That smile and mild manner will not be forgotten and will be those memories to the family in the void of his passing. May his family be comforted. Sharon (Stewart) Long.
