  1. I think of John a lot! Me and him were good friends growing up . We listened to Lynard Skynard and the Eagles a lot together while taking all the back roads, hunting rabbits, and what ever else we saw! I will always have some of my best growing up memories with him.I know he was a good man, dad, husband and friend. The family is in our prayers!
