I have precious memories of me and John were used to set doer colored pencil art work together. He had a nice set up sure miss doing that with him. God bless you all he will be missed.

My heart is breaking for my sons  Joshua, Jason and Mike.  Thank you John for giving me these wonderful sons.  Rest in peace.

I’m sorry for your loss. John is a wonderful soul. That’s a good Lord is gained and we celebrate his life because he had a adventurous life and he loved everything he did. I’ve known John for several years. He was always fun to be around and we shared a lot of fun and laughter together, I will miss him dearly. God bless you and his family and the good Lord will comfort you.

I've known John over 50 years and had a lot of fun and good times over the years. He was a great friend and he will be missed.
My sincere condolences go out to his mom Lucille, his sister Bennett,and to Jason his son and his family. 
May the good Lord wrap you in his arms to comfort all of you in this trying time of sorrow.
Rest in Peace John

My condolences to Lucille, Bennett and John's children and extended family. I remember playing childhood games with John, Bennett and the neighbors - the Cockings, Swearengines, Conleys,  McIntyre's, Philbricks and Dixons to name a few -  in those days of yesteryear when children were allowed unsupervised outdoor play.  I should add, however, that this group included two policemen (the Cockings and Brierlys) and a fireman (my father), so our safety was assured. 

R.I.P. John

I am so very grateful he is with the Lord! I am giving my condolences to his family: his mother, Bennett sister, his 3 children, Jason especially since I only know him. His grandchildren! Please accept my love, hugs & prayers for your loss! In Jesus' name, Amen

John was a good friend during my high school years and after.  He was always fun to be with.  He would always be there if you needed a ride home or anywhere with awesome music too.  To his family, I am so sorry for your loss.
