Still think about you and sometimes I see someone that resembles you.
Miss you and my hair cuts.

Miss you Big John! You were a stellar guy!

Still think about you and you are FOREVER MISSED !!

Life must go on. sometimes I wonder how. I miss you.

Still missing you and think of you often..

It is so hard to come and leave a message for you on the 1st, that day I'm miserable. I don't sleep well, I'm depressed all day. That day marks the day I lost my soulmate, my lifelong love, my 2nd half. Nothing can measure up to the love I had with you. No one can replace what we had. I try and move on. I'm trying to live life to the fullest as you taught me to do. You are always there in my mind and I can hear you say "go on, do it or you will regret not doing it" I want to make you proud. I miss your big hugs, your soft, passionate kisses that make me feel like there is no one but us. Till I see you again, fly high my love.

Remembering the good times Big John! Wish you were here to make more of them!

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years pass...... I think of you day and night. I remember what your arms felt like around me and what your lips felt like on mine. You have visited me in dreams that seem so real that when I wake up and you're not realy here my eyes flood with tears and that ache in my heart and stomach return. I long to here your voice, your laughter and see that contageous smile of yours. I hold close to my heart the memories of all the fun times we had. Happy belated Birthday my soulmate. I love you dearly and miss you so. My heart and soul will always carry this empty hole. Till we're together again my love, fly high.

On this day I am thinking of you Big Brother
I think of you so often

My Johnny, the years pass, the hurt, the holes in my heart and soul continues and the tears still fall. No one can fill this void. Till we're together again fly high my love. Save my place right next to you. I love you and still miss you my soulmate.

Forever on my mind
Miss ya brother

Great knowing BIG John even though for not very long. He was a hell of a barber and enjoyed his motorcycles. Unfortunately didn't get to enjoy his pontiac convertible very long. Rest in Peace BIG John

Happy Heavenly Birthday my Johnny. I miss you so much. I know life goes on but it's just not the same without you. I keep you in my heart, it beats stronger with you there. Time passes, memories stay, you are loved and remembered everyday. Till we're together again my love, fly high.

Happy birthday John! You're missed!

Hi Babe. So now it's been 4 yrs since you left us. I still have a hole in my heart and my soul that no one will ever be able to fill. I miss you just as much now as I did when you left. I love you Johhnny. Fly high my love, till we see each other again. 

Miss you BIG JOHN! You were such a nice guy! Wish you were still around to talk with!

I think of you often, miss you John.

There just isn’t a day or a week that goes by that I get reminded how special of a friend you were and how deeply your missed.
Fly high Big Brother

I miss you dearly Big brother. There's not a week that goes by that something reminds me of you. Our talks and laughs are missed dearly.

Some of the time, I can deal with your death. I can hold back the tears and accept that you’re gone.I force myself to believe the cliche words that get thrown around, about how only the good die young and how God takes His favorites first. About how it was your time and how everything happens for a reason.
But sometimes, that silver linings attitude fades away and all I can feel is anger. Hurt. Betrayal. I’m sorry that I can’t be strong all the time. That there are days when I question my faith. Days when I hate the world and every person inside of it. Days when I’m bitter about the way life turned out. I’m sorry that I can’t walk around with unflinching hope when I know how shitty this world is. I’m sorry I’m not perfect. I’m sorry I carry so much anger inside. I’m pissed, because you left your family behind. You left people who still needed your love, your voice, your hugs, your kisses. People who cared about you more than they cared about themselves. People who would do anything to have one more minute with you. I’m pissed, because I keep seeing these shitty people running around without a care in the world, living for decades longer than you had the chance to. Because the goodness in your heart should have earned you more days, months, years. I’m pissed, because you deserved better. You deserved to celebrate more milestones. You deserved to see the people around you grow up. You deserved to grow old yourself and pass away peacefully in your sleep after ninety years of living your best life. I’m pissed, because it’s not fair. That sounds whiny to say, childish, selfish but it’s the truth. What happened to you wasn’t fair. What happened to your family wasn’t fair. Nothing about your death was fair. I miss you. And I hate that I miss you, because I shouldn’t have to. I should be able to call you up. I should be able to knock on your door. I should be able to see you face-to-face anytime I want. You should still be here, right now, sending me texts to ask how I’ve been doing. You should still be here, right now, giving me a reason to laugh instead of cry. You should still be here, right now, alive and well. No matter how many cliches are thrown at me about how only the good die young, no matter how many of those sayings I choose to believe to find some semblance of comfort, I will always believe that your death was bullshit. I will always believe that there was some sort of mistake, that you didn’t deserve it. I will always believe that you deserved so much more and we deserved to live the end our life together as planned, full circle. My heart and soul will always carry this empty hole. My love, my best friend.

Happy Birthday Big John!! Enjoy your eternal wings!! I love you

Happy Birthday baby. You are so missed here on earth. I know you are celebrating with your sisters in your heavenly mansion. I love you so and I hold you in my heart.

Many years ago John gave me a beautiful diamond ring. I never knew why he gave me such a lovely and valuable gift, since we were really not that tight back in those days. Nevertheless I have kept and loved that ring for all these many years and John and I grew closer over the years as well..

Recently I have been hospitalized and had a couple of very close brushes with death. This fact and my age of 90 have caused some heavy thinking on my part as to final dispositions.

As a result, I have given this ring to Morgan Greene where I know it will continue to bring good memories of John and is part of his branch of our family.

May you wear it in good health and joy Morgan.

Love,
Grandma Carole.

Still miss you Big John! I haven't been by the 'Hairport' since you passed but I'll do that the next time I'm there and see how the staff does at haircuts. Probably not as good as you! Sorry you didn't get a chance to enjoy your Pontiac more. It made me want to get another 'classic'.

I can't believe it's been a year! In that year Shirley & Juanita joined you.
May your eternal ride be exhilarating!! I love you

Happy Birthday Big bro.
You are sooo missed.
I love you <3

Big John will be greatly missed.

My dear brother.....I want you to know that no matter what was going on in our lives, I always loved you.....I know you tried to look out for me, but with both of us being a Taurus, we butted heads quite a few times, that also comes with sibling love. But we still loved each other.
You taught me more in life than you know, for that I'm grateful.
I truly miss you & can't believe you're not here anymore.
I give you this rose to give to momma & believe me, I'm mad at you coz you got to see here 1st, so please give it to her tell her I love & miss her.

Ride that fat boy (even tho you don't have it anymore) thru those pearly gates.
God Speed my big burly teddybear brother.

BIG JOHN WILL BE MISSED.

Thank you for being a Grizzly Bear! Wild, but compassionate! You taught me to love LIFE!

Johnny, you are one of a kind!
When you laughed, your laughter was contagious... When you loved, your love was passionate!
I will miss you, but I KNOW we will meet again! I love you

I'm so glad we met up at John and Annie's wedding. Got to share eating and talking together, and even a few hugs. We both left about the same time and got to share another "goodbye hug". I will remember that last hug "until we meet again".

Knew John from the late 70's - he was my hairdresser and my friend - the kind of friend you wouldn't see real often, and when you did in his shop or in the Food Ranch, it was as if you had parted the day before. Whenever I would see him we shared the love and pride of our children - he was so very proud of you, and loved you so much. He'll be missed, but was glad that I told him I loved him when he cut my hair in November. One of the greatest men I've ever known. Love you bunches man, Claudia and Mitch

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash…would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent YOUR Dash?

Farewell to our good friend Big John. Thank You for being our friend. Thank you for all your kind thoughts and the kind things you did for my wife. Thank you for taking my grandson Presley on his first motorcycle ride. So ride your Harley through the pearly white gates. Heaven needs a Gentle Giant, because us left here on earth are still missing you.

                              Love, Donnie & Dee

He will be missed by many, cut my hair from the time I was a little boy to the time I left for the military and trips home over the past 12 years. RIP Big John, and my condolences to the family!

Great experience to go to Hairport! Great guy and gave best haircut ever!!!! John is irreplacable!!!!

Big John gave me my first haircut when I moved to Inglis in 1999, my last haircut a few weeks ago and most of those in between. We became close and enjoyed each other’s company when we got together. In our conversations he often spoke about life after death. John chose life one day last year when we were together in his shop. That day he accepted the call of the Lord on his conscience and invited Jesus in. As great as his life was, his entrance into Heaven’s doors will bring Him joy beyond the earthly accomplishments. A joy he now has.

John was a good friend of mine as well as my barber for many years, he was a true friend who was there when you needed him and I will sorely miss him, my condolences to his family.
                Rest in peace my friend.

Terribly sorry for the families loss. He was a good friend to me and will be sadly missed

Big John will be sorely missed. He was one hell of a barber and a nice guy. May you rest in peace Big John!!!

sorry about your loss he will be missed by all.

I light a candle for the brightness you brought into everyone's life.
I love you my protective big bro.
