Getting close to John Henry's passing almost a year ago. John always made me feel good in his presence. I am so glad I shared at his Memorial service. I don't feel comfortable usually in getting up in front of so many people but I needed to share my old wrestling tournament heartwarming experience of him. If we could all be as compassionate as John the world would be a better place.

Hard to express how much I'll miss John Henry, he meant so much to me. We would talk for hours and he guided me through some hard times....he always had time to listen to me, had great stories, and was inspiring to me, guiding me like a brother. Thank you John Henry, for everything, my family and I loved you.

A good and loyal man. You had to get past the rough looking exterior to get to the softness of his soul.
