Tracey: I was so sorry to read about your father's death. Please know that I am thinking of you. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I am a patient of SC Oncology, and wonder if I have seen your father there and just did not know him. My prayers are with you.

John was one of the nicest individuals one could ask to ever meet. We were truly blessed to have him as part of our family. There are so many qualities about John I could write about. He was always willing to help anyone that asked for his assistance. He always had a kind word about those in his life. He smiled at life and its challenges, and swiftly went to work on whatever was before him. He was a true role model to all of us fortunate to know him. We will miss him always and remember all his acts of kindness with gratitude and love.
