Hi Dad,

Today is your birthday.  It is the shame for all of us that we can't see you or call you today. You left us too soon.  You were a good man and a great dad.  I am thankful for all you taught me.  I miss you often and I am saddened that my children can't know you better.

I'm keeping that beer cold till me meet old friend. Lots of love always n deeply missed | keep my space on the porch ... §hatter§tar…

Gentle thoughts of a gentle sleep...

I miss you dad,there is so much I wanted to talk to you about,and to share with you.I will always love you dad and thank you for all the love you gave to me..Michelle

I prayerfully think of you daily and forever love you.

I didn't know you well at all John. I knew you were my Godfather. I knew too your home allways brought me a sense of comfort and invitation. What I didn't know is how much you accomplished and the footprint you've left behind you... They say a man's character can be measured by his accomplishments in his adventure and journey through life. Your legacy is of respect and love! God Bless!

Dad i can say now that im a dad, that you had it very very tough.only a few good men could of done half of what you did for all of us. miss you and love you.  marshall
