I think about you everyday. I will never forget the last time I saw you and gave you a hug. I remember you hated me having to ride the greyhound bus 20+ hours to see you, but I would have done it a thousand times. You told me "buddy next time you come and see me i will fly you out". Thank you for loving me for my entire life. I can't wait to see you again one day Papa John.

This make me so sad. John Dale was one of the good guys. We both went to Rancho Village Elementary school together. I remember playing dodgeball with him and breaking his glasses. I'm sure his momma was not happy with me.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Was looking forward to seeing him this next April for a mini class reunion.

So sad to hear this, we just loved him. We always talked about my husband & son having the same name. My thought & prayers will be with the family. We went to church with him at Grace Pointe, he came to Sunday school & was always so kind.

Jamie, my prayers are with you and your family at this time, as you mourn the loss of your father. I have fond memories of your John and my late husband Albert had a special place in his heart for John. I pray God will give you peace and comfort in the days that lie ahead.
