John was my best friend in high school. We maintained that friendship for 63 years until John passed away. A truer friend one can never have and a finer gentleman one can never be. God bless you, my dear friend.

John was one of my dearest friends in high school and hat friendship continued throughout the course of our lives. Although we lived far apart, we made it a point to keep in touch several times a year. John was one of the finest men I've ever had the privilege of knowing and those that were close to john are lessened by his passing...........

John, my dear buddy, you were my best friend in high school and we kept our friendship through all these years. May you rest in peace and be with the Lord.
Hopefully, God willing, I'll see you again one day and we'll laugh and share the memories we had in our lifetime. Goodbye for now old friend.
