Those who knew John knew his love and kindness to so many animals, and people in need with his push to feed people in our area with the Lowcountry Blessing Box Project. They just put another blessing box up and he would be so happy. John loved helping the homeless and he would give the shirt off his back.
His love for Waters Edge Great Dane Rescue was never ending. He would have 3 foster babies here at a time that we all worked with. He majorly loved his sweet, big boy, Great Dane, Woodrow aka Honkers. Woodrow will stay with us forever because of his past abuse and history. He waited every morning for John to come home and had his toy ready in his mouth so they could play.
The love he showed for his family and the dog rescue, and the food project never stopped and never will. Rest easy John, we will carry it on for you.
