I Just Wanted To Say That John Was A Very Sweet And Funny Man. Brian And I Were His Computer Repair People. We Always Enjoyed Talking To John And He Always Had Stories To Share. I Was Shocked When I Saw That He Had Passed I Knew He Had Been Sick But John Was A Fighter And I Just Thought We Would Be Seeing Him Again Soon. I Want To Tell His Family How Very Sorry We Are And We Are Sending Prayers. I’M Am Sure He Is Up In Heaven With His Wife And Sharing Silly Jokes. Again We Are So Very Sorry

My Heart Is Broke To Hear Of Johns Passing. John Came To See Me Every 5 Weeks Like Clockwork And He Hasn’T Been In Since December. I Looked Forward To Seeing Him . He Was Such A Love And Always Made Me Smile And Had A Hug And A Kiss For Me. I Cannot Begin To Tell You How Incredibly Sorry I Am For Your Families Loss. All The Girls At Sportsclips Loved Him. He Was So Incredibly Special.

I Am So Incredibly Sorry For Your Loss! I Wish That We All Lived Closer And Were Able To See Each Other More Often, But Some Of My Favorite Memories Growing Up Have To Be Our Yearly Summer Trips To Myrtle Beach To Visit With Uncle John And Aunt Billie! I Loved Both Of Their Sense Of Humors And Always Felt So Loved By Them Even In The Short Amount Of Time That We Got To See Them Every Year. I Really Wish My Husband And Children Would’Ve Gotten The Chance To Meet Them 🙁

I Am Saddened To Hear The Loss Of John. I Wanted To Extend My Deepest Sympathies To You And Your Family.
Acts 17:31 “Because He Has Set A Day On Which He Purposes To Judge The Inhabited Earth In Righteousness… And He Has Provided A Guarantee To All Men By Resurrecting Him From The Dead.€
Something That Gives Us Great Comfort Is The Bible Truth That Death Is Not The Dot Or Period At The End Of A Sentence, But Rather The Comma Or Pause Because Our Dear Loved Ones Will Live Again. We Know That We Will See Our Loved Ones Again Because The Beautiful Promise Recorded At Revelation 21:4 “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore.” What A Truly Special Day So Close At Hand To Be Able To Embrace Our Loved Ones Again!
