I met John when he would visit his wife, and admired his sweet nature. I saw his love  for his wife and knew his love for his family was extraordinary.  Seeing him again recently, and his faithfulness in coming to see his wife even though I could tell it was difficult for him to get around was so special. We definitely lost a man who was one of the great ones and will be truly missed. 

My granddaddy was one of my biggest role models and best friends. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was the most upstanding man you could ever hope to meet and he would do anything in his power to help those he loved. Anytime I needed advice, he was my first call. I will never forget his story of how he thought he done killed his daddy's hog. I'd ask him to tell me that story often, even as an adult. I love you granddaddy. May you rest in peace with God. Until we one day will meet again.
