John lived with my Grandmother Fausteen for as long as I can remember. As a kid, we did every Easter there and he would always slip the dollar bills out of the prize eggs and put 5 dollar bills in them for my sisters and I. He loved us like we were his own. He was such a gentle soul and I’m so thankful we had the chance to be a part of his life. He even learned a lot of basic sign language for my deaf little sister so he could talk to her when she came to visit. He was an honest, hardworking man and he’s the only man I know that could drink a 12 pack of Coca Cola in a day. It made me so happy to find this after searching for so long because he had as much love for him as he gave everyone and he deserved it.

I was the youngest of 10 kids so yes I was spoiled. But it wasn't just by mom and dad it was all of my brothers and sisters also. I will always remember when my husband ask dad for my hand in marriage. Dad told William that he better take care of me or he would come after him with a ball bat. They always picked at each other. I was so proud when Dad was baptized William and my 2 of my brothers helped with it he was 89 years old. Praise God . I will miss you dad give momma hugs for us. He loved seeing the great grandkids. 



My favorite  memory is  him telling everyone  that  he brought me home in his shoe box's  that I was I was that small. We always had to stick our tongues out at each other.  How he kne w who I was. I'm  going to miss you but now your with  momma and all our family  . Love your Dinkie doll

John Paris was my daddy my favorite memory was when we lived at Fairview. We would sit and listen to his favorite records Teddy Bear, Daddy's hands,and kiss an angel good morning when I hear any of these songs I will always think of you Daddy.            Love, Melissa

John Paris was my dad I haven't seen him in a few years but I was kept informed by my sister and my daughter's of his condition.i wish I could be there with the family but due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be able to attend.thoughts and prayers for the family.   Deeda
