John was a wonderful man with a heart as big as Texas.  He always had a joke and smile to share with everyone.  He was a blessing to all who knew him, a true friend.  He will be missed.

Even though time has passed and we lived our lives in other places, my Uncle Bubba had a special place in my heart. When I was small, he was the tall kind always smiling uncle who went crabbing with us, spent holidays and birthdays with us. We played with our Aunt Dale and our cousins. Those are times I remember fondly as he is embraced in the afterlife. My sympathies to my Aunt, cousins and great cousins.  Susan

Grandpa,
Thank You for all the good things you did do for me. You will never know how much we did love you Papa.

John and Dale entered into my life when Christina married Andrew what a blessing they were, and are.  My thoughts and prayers are with Dale, Kevin and the rest of the family.  John was a dear man and I enjoyed our conversations, as few and far between as they were.

May the Lord hold you in his arms and comfort you at this time. Blessings to all. Leon & Gwenda Knox (Waco, Tx)

John was a good friend from back in the 50's.  Our East-end upbringing was always is what kept us friends. As a fellow firefighter we knew our respect for one another.
Rest in peace John....Bill Hausinger

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
