Randy & Family...We were so shocked & saddened to learn about Mr.Garner's death. He was such a wonderful & kind man. I can remember all the times of coming to JR Automotive all way back to when our daughter was just a little girl. Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this terrible loss.

John will live in my heart forever. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend. His sense of humor was wonderful. When Ray fell off our dock, clothes, tools and all it made his day. I am so glad he saw it. He laughed about it for days. He used to amuse us all on the Fourth of July by playing marches loudly while Ken Diller marched around with the flag. I will miss you, my friend.
