Goodbye, Uncle John
I’ll miss you more than words can say. I’ll cherish all of the the memories we had. From the times we went fishing to the times we worked together and the many, many laugh’s and the stories we shared.
Just like a big catch, the impact you’ve had on my life and so many others will take time to fully appreciate, but it’s already making waves in my heart and others. You’ll definitely missed by many I do know that.
So in rest in peace now, and also may you’re line be tight now that you’re fishing with one of the Greatest Fishers of Men….
Cindy, I was very saddened to hear about John’s passing. He was a great guy I could always count on at Drake to handle tough jobs. He also was a great guy to spend time with away from work. Fishing and golfing were always infinitely more entertaining with John present. Sorry I cannot make the funeral because Sharon is having Cataract surgery at 11:00 that day. God Bless Y’all.
