Uncle J.C., I will never forget the very fond memories that you have left with my family and me. I will never forget the special visits to your house, your visits to Mama and Daddy's house, Pete and Tony, my first airplane ride and of course the "squash my gosh"! You were such a great uncle to be with. My boys loved you too, they always remembered sliding down the hill in front of Grandma and Gradaddy Boggs's house in a box with you. I will always hear that special laugh that you had. I love you and will miss you, but will see you in heaven one day! Love you much!! Phyllis

I only knew Poppa John for a few months because of his grandson, Charlie. But those few months were months that I will never forget and cherish forever. We love you and miss you Poppa John. See you on the other side.

To Ms Lou and family,
I wish you God's blessings in this time. I am thankful for the time I knew John Boggs. He was a wonderful man and I will always value the memories and stories he shared. He gave me some good advice along the way and I hope I can keep it in my heart and mind. Last, I will never hear a jet fly overhead without hearing him say "There goes my boys"!! Now I know he is flying higher than ever! I will miss him!

I would like to express my deepest regrets for the death of John. I enjoyed working with and getting to know him at Innerlogic. We all enjoyed the fresh veggie's he would bring in for us. I will miss the morning games of who made it in to work first. Sometimes I would get to wake him up in the parking lot.
John was the type of man that all men should stive to be like.

To: Mrs. Alele Phillips and Family of Mr. John Boggs: I was saddend to hear of the passing of John this week and was reminded of the joy we shared with John back in the earlier days of our friendship and business relations. John and I would always greet each other with kindness and warm greetings. I was parts mgr. for M&M Tractor co. in Quincy and lived about a mile from John. To the family and Mrs. Adele Phillips , my prayers are with you and may you gain strength through The Lord. To be absent from the body is to be present with THE LORD. OUR LOSS IS HIS GAIN
