Dear Daddy, I am missing you so much. I couldnt help myself to log on this website and see you pics again and read all the wonderful things people have to say about you. I miss you calling me everyday. Its Mardi Gras time and I want you here so bad. All these holidays are passing by and I think of my last days with you. I miss you every single day that goes by. I love you with all my heart. Hugges and kisses daddy.

Dear Massey Family,
I was truly saddened to learn from my long time friend Ms. Barbara Andry your father had passed away and wished to convey my sympathies to you all for your loss.  Then with a smile on my face, I though of the time Ms. Barbara, Mr. John, Sister, Dale y'all came to visit me in Lake Tahoe. We planned an early morning breakfast ride at the Ponderosa...well on that morning Mr. John woke Ms. Barbara and I up, you kids were asleep downstairs, and through it was still rather dark, we stumbled around nevertheless and got dressed. When we got downstairs, Mr. John was waiting for us with coffee in hand...and it was then we looked at the clock to see that it was like 5am !!  We didn't have to be at the ranch until 8.  Mr. John had this big smile on his face and said to us; " I wanted you to spend the morning w/me and enjoy the sunrise." Well in spite of our stupor, we busted out laughing. He had got us good, so we poured our coffee and enjoyed the morning sunrise w/Mr. John as he wished.  We enjoyed our day at the Ponderosa as well.  I'm glad to have known Mr. John, your father, he was a kind, fun loving, genuine man, and I'll always remember him fondly.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. John, you were as close to a dad for me as I could've had.  I always remember our trips to Disney in your RV and your BBQ Shrimp!  I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood, thanks to you.  Thank you! I love you always!!!

Mr. John, although I never officially met you, I live directly in front of Edie and saw you visit her many times. There seemed to have been so much love between you. I could see how much you truly adored her and your grand-daughters. And, they all seemed to adore you as well. One day that specifically stands out in my mind was a year or two ago, Edie had just planted flowers out front and you were there for a visit. I was sitting on my front porch and you were telling her how nice it looked. She seemed so proud that her daddy liked what she had done. Now, as your family & friends mourn, I pray for The Lord to give them the strength to pull through. May God bless all of your family & friends. And, may you rest in peace, in the arms of The Lord.

John, 
I will always remember your wonderful, generous and loving spirit. Mister 
Madigras will be missed, but I know you are leading the big parade in heaven. Love,  PJ

John-our King of Mardigras! We will always hold your memory close in our hearts. Your friendship we treasure. All our love with "glitters" on it. Pat & Dave

Big John, even though you are gone you will never be forgotten.  You brought a smile and laughter to everyone you touched.  I will always cherish our times at Devoe, in New Orleans and Pensacola.  I will miss you and the conversations we shared.  Until we meet again my dear friend.  Love and Hugs, Debbie

All I can say is a very loving father and grandfather to my beautiful friend Edith, you are her life.  I can remember it always being you and her side by side through out everything.  You will be missed always!  Love always Shelly

John, I cried when Sister called me that you had passed-I cried tears of sadness for my loss and tears of happiness that I know you are in a better place. It would be nice if the world could know how many lives you have touched. We are all better people because we had the pleasure of calling you friend. We shared many GREAT times, and I will always have them to cherish. Goddbye to one of my Bestest friends. Friends are family that you get to choose,and I feel as though you were my big brother. I will never forget you or your family. Love Always, Connie

What a wonderful person he was.  He was so kind to so many. I will never forget the road trips with Johnny and everyone else when we were kids.  I cannot begin to tell you how important he was to me.  Thanks for all the love you gave to us all.  It has left a lasting impression.  All of our love "Sister",Dale and family.

We will miss your smile, we will miss your laugh, we will miss you. I have known you all of my life.You were there for the good times and the bad.  I will cherish the memories. Goodbye Mr. John.

Dear Johnny, I cannot believe you are gone, although I know you are in a better place with your son. I always have special memories of the times I went to visit and of course the time you carried me and sister to Branson Missouri. That was so much fun! I remember we went to that diner with the oldies and that awesome ice cream we ate every night after a show. We  just sat back and relaxed. You really enjoyed life and you were a great person to be around. No matter what, you always had laughter in your heart. You will be truly missed and forever in my heart. love you always, your cousin Tammy.

Our good and loving friend! We are so sad and cannot believe he is in heaven with Johnny. Now you and Dale will have two guardian angels watching over you all. We will always love him and keep him in our hearts forever. We are always here for you. We love you.

Dear daddy, My days have been really sad lately. I am having a hard time moving forward. I know you dont want to see me sad or cry.You hated to see me cry. But I cant help the tears right now. Sometimes the tears just dont stop. I am blessed to know when you left me, you were in my arms. That meant the world to me. I know you are with Johnny now. I feel that he greeted you with open arms. Now you two can be my guardians angels. Please watch over my family and I. I am not gonna say good bye but see you again someday. I love you more than anything.
Love you forever,
Daddys lil' girl
Sister
