John Garland Thornton

I knew John since the day he was born. His older brother, Joe Jim, was born three days after me, and his sister, Jane, was my sister, Judy's, best friend. John and I have a great deal of history together, far too much to deliver here. I will simply say, I'm not far behind you, my friend. I look forward to a grand reunion with you, Joe Jim, Jane, Jim, Juanita and Pappy. I will play on my steel guitar (harp) all those big band songs I never had the chance to play for your Mom and Dad.
