John was a great person. I met him by chance on a gravel road doing what he loved...turkey hunting. He mentored me and taught me so much. I respected him so much for the way he treated me that I joined the hunting club that he was a member of. I am truly saddened by his passing. Prayers for his loved ones.

I am in tears learning of John passing - he was incredible - when we moved to Mother's he was there for us -always and when we left he recognized our homesickness and wished us well - truly a caring human being who will be missed

It has been a pleasure to know John for the past 40 years. We traveled the state with our work. He was a true dedicated person to the fruit growers of NC. He will be missed by his family and all that knew him. God bless the Earp Family

It was such a blessing to be John´s daughter-in-law. How he loved our boys was a gift that I will be eternally grateful for. My boys loved their "Poppa Earp" dearly. So thankful for the time that we were all given together. What wonderful memories
