Thelma. So sorry for your lost.  I just learned last night from Jack (heard at pool).  Our prayers are with you.  And please know we share in your grief.

Sometimes it is hard to convey your thoughts upon a person who has been around for much of your life. From your earliest childhood until you are adult. Mr.John I knew like that as a kid as an adult and for quite awhile fellow employees at a local warehouse. So many things our families did together cookouts fishing and hunting and many holidays just visiting and such. I have nothing but kind words to say about him . He I know was my fathers best friend and they always seemed to be something together. Crabbing hunting playing pool or helping each other with a house project. So he was around alot during my growing up time. I got to know his son Will quite well also. We went to school together and became friends as well even without the help of our fathers. So I want to express my condolences to him and his family especially . To me funerals are the hardest part of life. The most complicated and the most depressing. I myself will never get used to going to one because its hard on the heart. You realize how vunerable and short life truly is. And these are the times you have to say good bye to ones that helped you become who you are in the world. So yeah its tough. Mr. John will be missed because he always seemed to be ubeat and happy at dances and whenever he came around . He always seemed to joke and get people in a good mood just by being himself. So I know many will miss that about him. May he rest in peace and may God take care of him . 
                                                                  Respectfully
                                                                       Ronald Dailey Jr.
