I'm sorry to learn of John's passing. I would see him at all the gun shows/Military shows here in Louisville and was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. He will be missed.

Brandon and I always enjoyed talking with Johnny at our Sales. He was a wealth of knowledge (always willing to share) and always had a smile. He was truly a lovely human being. He will be greatly missed. May God comfort those who are left here to grieve his loss.

Judy and I always enjoyed seeing John at our Estate Sales. He always had great stories and a lot of chuckles. He would bring his Moma Mary with him sometime but if she wasn´t with him we always asked about her. He would tell us she´s at home curling she hair. Mary I am truly sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy. I can´t be there on Wednesday but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. John has left us with memories we can all cherish and carry with us always. He will be missed by many. God Bless you Mary. Anne

I met John going to estate sales and became fast friends. He was always there with a quick chuckle and some good advice. One of the best men I could luckily call my friend
