John and I have been close friends for almost two years. I am so sad and will miss him so much. He showed me all around Ocala and we had so much fun together.

I was so shocked to here about John. I had just seen him at Outback a few days before. He was such a nice, sweet guy and at the Elks he would dance with the single ladies. So sorry for your loss. He will be missed by all of us.
