I am so sad to hear of the passing of John. He was an old friend of my family from Hope Mills. I had a lot of good experiences with him many years ago. He always had a great smile and was a pleasure to be around. John was a very good man, and I will never forget him.

Diane and Blake, I am so saddened to hear about John. He was a very special person to our family. I have so many memories from my Dad's florist, Church, and my Dad and him fishing. I felt so special that he was able to help my Dad with my flowers at my wedding. Send love, prayers, and comfort during the days ahead.
