I never met your brother, but he sure sounds like he was a wonderful man-like his father. Please know I am only a phone call away.

As a young man growing up in Johnny's neighborhood in Carlisle, I have many fond memories of our time together. Whether it be riding around in the Jeep, shooting pool or just hanging out with Johnny and brother Jimmy, much laughter and great times was had by all. Johnny will always have a place in my heart. There is a special place for Johnny in Heaven. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I have not spoken to, nor have I been in contact with John since 1966, however, he has remained in my memory as one of the kindest and most likable individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting. Ours was effectively an adolescent friendship, but I feel confident that if the opportunity to reconnect had been presented, he would have maintained that same kindness and likability. My most heartfelt condolences and thoughts to "Johnny's" family and friends.

I was so saddened to hear of John's
passing this week. John replaced my position as Buyer & Merchandiser at Dunes West several years ago. I continued a career in wholesale and John purchased jewelry and ladies accesories from me for the Pro Shop. I considered John a friend and
always looked forward to seeing him. His sweet and gentle Christian spirit was always present and I admired his genuine love and concern for his family and others. I will miss John. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.

His joy and laughter touched so many people in his lifetime. It was so obvious that he was an "old soul", and knew how to live life to it's fullest. Let the memories of his mission in life guide you, and you will find peace.

I count myself as one of the lucky ones who had the chance to work with John while he worked for JCPenney in Charleston. He was always a delightfully funny man with a great sense of fairness.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
