JP,
You have be a true friend to me and
I missed you coming around the corner twice on weekends and do all the little things that I could not do. My son miss you taking him down to Cambridge MD so he can visit his sister. You have been there to witness my daughters wedding, my first grandson birth and my granddaughter surgery this past May. I can truely say you will always be a part of my family. I miss our watermelon Saturday and Sunday and helping me with some of my errands. Deep down you are as close to me as a brother. After you depart from this earth everything starting falling apart in the house. You have been a wonderful mentor; you have counseled the neighborhood addicts and help turn their lives around. You made sure that people in need had shelter and food. You help the elderly with groceries and fixed the neighborhood kids bicycles and toys. Most of all your life was taken to save others. Last but not least I will never forget your favorite 4 things that you really enjoy.
Love,
CBell
P.S.
Dont forget the Redskins and Cowboys game with Bernard!!!!

John, we are so honored to have known you. You looked so proud in your uniform. You are the epitomy of a hero, yet you were so humble. Darlene, "Sheilah Dee" and I miss you so much. You were a mainstay in our lives. We could always count on your joyfill spirit and playfulness to oppose a bad day. You will always be in our hearts...forever more. "Fuzz" and Sheilah Dee"

I cannot believe you are no longer among us. You were larger than life and so full of laughter and wanting the best for everyone, even when they did not want it for themselves. You always had a cold glass of water or a hot meal for those in need. You were an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on and just a great friend to all.
You will surely be missed by me, and so many others.
Rest in Peace, my friend.

John, you are one of a kind, your hearty laugh still echos in my ears, your smile, your free spirit, your jokes, you have nickname for everybody don't you! I leanred a lot from you. You are a true humanitarian, you were never impressed about what kind of college degree or how much or little a person earned. You did not judge or speculate. You had the ability to make the grumpiest meanest person change their attitude with your humor. Thank you fixing a lot of stuff on Dunlap St. and showing me how to take pictures, fixing my bike, play chess, wash a car with lemon joy, (best shine), drive fast and handle a curve carefully, (fun!)and not criticizing my weirdness.
I will NEVER forget you, daydreaming and I am thinking of you and Darlene, my big sis. I miss you and love you. "Fuzz" aka HOLLYWOOD! That is what you called me! No nickname for you, you are the one and only... JOHN.

JP,
I am glad I had a chance to tell you, I love you and you knew how I felt about you. You will be truly missed, your smile and laugh. Not to mention your skill to make other laugh when we are around you. RIP, JP.
Lord God, please send the Holy spirit to comfort his family and friends. You said Lord in your word there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heaven, a time to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. Lord, you are the great Jehovah, heal deliver and set free. We love you Lord, Jesus Almighty name, amen.
