Eddie, Linda and Bobby:
It was with a great sense of loss when I heard of your father’s death. I wanted to let you know that my heart is truly saddened.
John was more than just a wonderful person; he was a spiritual inspiration to young people. His passing will leave a void in in the hearts of all those who knew him.
John and Alma were dear friends of my mother. So kind and considerate to me and my family. They will always remain within my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. As a young person at The Salvation Army John seemed to be a giant of a man...and he was especially spiritually. John was a very special mentor for me as a young Christian. My prayes go out for Eddie, Bobby, Linda and the exended family
