I met John,as a customer at Walmart, always said hi to me while he was in, always a smile and a story of the day, very beautiful personality, towards the end of his life he often hugged me and told me take life one day at a time! He was a very caring person! And special I will always remember him. - Posted by: Shelley foss (Friend) on: Jan 18, 2020

John was the real deal. Genuine, compassionate, fun loving, kind and dedicated to his community and to his friends. I never knew him without something positive to share. I am very glad to have called him friend. He never greeted me without a hug. I will miss his music. I will miss his thoughtfulness and his dignity. I will miss him. - Posted by: Laura Tutlies (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2020
