He was one of the best men I ever had the privilege to know. You will be missed
John was a true friend to us for the past several years. He stuck by us when others turned against us. We attended church together and my husband was the pastor for several years and they talked on the phone for hours. He’s sure going to be missed here. Prayers for all of the family.
