Rest in peace, dear neighbor! You never knew, but sometimes the chats from the porch could mean the first smile after a long day at work. Your "Hey, Neighbor!" was always such a welcomed sound!

Thoughts and prayers to all who knew and loved John. He was a unique individual, it has been many years, but we shared much laughter and good times. What fun we had training for the Mini Marathon,the Mystery Train, New Years parties, and family memories. Your death is a loss to many, RIP John Boy. Ted and Sue

We have had the privilege of living across the street from John for over 20 years and it was a privilege to know him. He was always friendly and caring and never shy with a "hi there neighbor!". He was beloved by the neighborhood kids for passing out suckers and playing Halloween pranks. He will be very missed.

John Boy, a person should only be judged by his or her peers Among the many survivors of the class of 68 and your many friends at Amtrak , i doubt all but a questionable few called you friend. To the great times we shared from grade school to the end. I was better for knowing you. God's speed my friend, Rick and Juli Chappell p.s. i am going to use that minnow bucket one more time in your honor.

I am so sorry for your loss. He and I had many good times while working at Amtrak -- we was on the United Way team - and went to many places and enjoyed them together. He will be missed in many of our lives.
