John was a dear friend that we shared many wonderful trips with. He was a valued member of our Chevrolet Twenty Group and a very engaging dinner partner. We value the time we spent with John and Hope and their children.



Our heartfelt prayers are with all of you. God Bless. Bill and Victoria McCurley

I only met John as a younger brother of George and Phil, twins who attended Stetson Univ. I was in the family home after Phil's untimely death and played football with George for four years.

Our thoughts are with the family.

This is a major loss. Words cannot express the gentleman he was. However, god knows best.
