I was terribly sorry to hear of John D's passing. I have not seen him in many years. My mother, Dorothy Matteson Hagler, was his first cousin. I remember him from family reunions when I was a child. My deepest sympathies to his family. Lynda Hagler Baggett

I worked with John D as we called him when he built custom homes and you always knew you were working with a man of honesty and integrity and that could be said of him in anything he did. He led by example and what a great example he was, such a solid rock. Becky you will be in our prayers, we love you.
