My cousin Johnny will be missed by many of us.  I have many fond memories of our Thanksgiving dinners together in Amarillo, not only when we lived in Amarillo but after we moved to Snyder.  Johnny and I were "the older cousins" so we often talked for hours about various things of the day.  I will always remember how many interests he had and his keen mind.  When we lived in Macon, he came to see us shortly after he'd gotten out of the service so he had many stories to tell us of his time during the Vietnam War.  I send my love to Uncle John, Linda (his wife), his sister Jane, his brother Tommy, Lara and all others of the immediate family.  
Love, Rozanne (one of the cousins)

Dear John, fellow thespian, veteran  and friend.  "May flights of angels fly the to thy rest" ...  and always, happy trails to you until we meet again.

Dear Linda and Family...I am so terribly sorry about John...It really caught me offguard this morning when I read the paper.  I liked John very much and always appreciated his work with broadcasting and his hard work in trying to really establish the broadcasters group.  I am thankful to call him a friend and I pray that the Lord will give you peace and comfort over the days ahead.  My love, thoughts, and memories...Dean Kelley esp the Cracker Barrell 4-some

Our condolences from the Austin based Howards.

I will miss sharing books with John.  He often told me he had a great day planned.  He would spend it reading  and enjoying the company of his wife, Linda.  He said life didn't get any better than that.
