John Putillion Obituary

I miss you and love you.

I think about John often and always smile because I was blessed to have known him and to have been a friend of his-On this 10th anniversary of his passing I still can blink and see his smile-

I can't believe it's already been over a year since you passed away. I thought of you all day just as always, you and papa. I love you.

Happy early Valentine's day, Uncle John!!
Still Missing You,
Dani

This morning, for the first time since early last fall, I dropped off a prescription at Walgreen's and learned that John had passed away. I was genuinely shocked and deeply saddened because I thought of John as my "early morning sunshine" whenever I picked up prescriptions. He truly was kind, and caring, and such a pleasure to talk with. I always made it a point to go to Walgreen's very early in the morning, before it became busy, so I'd have extra time to chat with John because I always came away feeling uplifted. For you, his family, I know the loss is beyond words. Please accept deepest condolences from one of the people he touched in Miami.

Happy birthday! I miss you!

To John's Family: I am at a total loss for words. I have been texting John for the last month or so trying to update his address. Today I googled and discovered this. I am in total shock and sadness. I have known John since 1989. It was funny, I was living in Myrtle Beach and he came for vacation and we met, then when we discovered we both had the Huntington connection we were friends. We kept in touch over the years and then he and his niece came to Key West last Spring Break and we got to spend the day catching up. He promised me he would stay in touch better.
My heart is broken, I will miss that smile, those phone calls and his level headed thoughts.
I was blessed to have John as my friend, and he will be missed.

Uncle John,
Mamaw Pam misses you so much. Please, be with her and comfort her throughout this time. We miss you so MUCH! Not a day goes by that we aren't saddened from your loss. We know you want us to move on and be happy. We are glad to know that you're in our hearts and souls and will forever be a part of us. We love you! Merry Christmas.

When people walk up to the pharmacy counter, they are often sick, or frightened by a new diagnosis or a new medicine, perhaps not understanding exactly what the doctor explained to them. John was unfailingly kind, helpful, patient, explaining things to customers, reassuring them, helping them to understand the purpose of the prescribed medicine and how to take it. When I walked up to the counter and saw John on duty, my day was brighter and I knew any problems would be solved. Perhaps most special was the way he genuinely cared about his customers and his colleagues. Words are so inadequate to express the sadness I feel at knowing he is no longer with us. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Sincerely, Dr. Patricia Donly, Psy.D. (Coral Gables)

When John smiled the whole room would light up. He was very special to everyone that knew him. He will be missed by ALL his friends including myself.

I've been reading your guest book, everyday. It eases my mind to read that everyone feels the same way about you as I do. I miss you more everyday,yet everyday is a day less until we're together again. I just want an "Uncle John" hug!!

John I will miss you more than words could say. You and I grew so close working together at Highlawn Pharmacy. I know of no other boss that I have adored more than you. You were more than a boss , you were my best friend. I love you John and miss you. Marianna Clark Dent Pillichody

John always had a smile, an encouraging word and what seemed to be an infinite amount of patience. You loved people more than money. A trait that is sorely missed. The world was a better place when you were here
