Buddy was good friends with my brother, Mike McSwain, at Sherman High School. Buddy took me to my Senior Prom ! Sorry for your loss. Sending prayers  of strength and comfort for the days ahead.  { Mike was killed in a car accident in 1968}

Kathy and I loved our wonderful friendship that started in 1969.  Even though we would go years between visits, we would pick up as though it had been only days since the prior one.  Kathy passed on earlier this year and will now be with John in eternity.  While they were here, their distinctive laughs, fun natures and joyful attitudes will continue to provide wonderful memories.

 Mort and I first met John and Judy when our son Erik became engaged to their beautiful daughter Suzanna and once they were married we really loved how they embraced him into the family.
Although we haven't made many trips to Dallas over the years each time we did and had the pleasure of being together with them they showed what gracious hosts they were.  What we really remember about John is that he was always upbeat and had the biggest smile. He was blessed to have so many wonderful friends, a real pleasure to be around and will be missed by all.  Our prayers and thoughts go out to Judy and family.  
Love, Mort and Lois Jensen and family

I met John (Buddy) Dryden in 1962 when we attended Sherman Jr, High. We lost touch for a time while he attended LSU. In 1969, I received a call asking is he could bring his date to my apartment to meet my wife and me. I believe it was their first date. It was then when we met the love of his life and a beautiful lady, Judy. We cooked steaks on a small Hibachi on the upper deck of our one room apartment. Time passed and we lost direct contact with each other. Like all really good friends, a few  years ago we walked back into their lives like it was yesterday. I will miss you John S. (Buddy) Dryden.

                        Many of John's high school classmates called him by his nickname of Buddy, in fact he was a long time buddy since I first met him in elementary school. Judy and the rest of his family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. 

                                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                                                            David 

                                                                                                            Sherman

Judy and John, we will never forget all the fun times we have had with you both, and our hearts are hurting knowing we won't be able to see John's great smile again.  I can hear his laughter as I'm writing this.  We love you both, and can't imagine a world without John in it. Our prayers go out to all the Dryden family.

Oh sweet angel in Heaven.  Congratulations for earning your wings…job well done!  The Lord was pleased.  A devout Christian now eternally rewarded and seeing the Face of God every moment.  Please fly over Judy and family and sprinkle Gods peace to them. You were such a glorious gift to all.  We were honored to have known you while only a small portion of your great life. Sending our love and prayers to you and the Dryden family, Kathy and Alan Stewart

John and I went to grade school, Junior High and High School together.  I knew his family and Judy his wife.  Unfortunately I never met his daughter, but I send Prayers to all the family.  

I always enjoyed talking to John about the farm and how he was doing.  I also enjoyed several High School reunions that John would attend.

Bless the family and may God take care of John until we meet again. 

We met John Dryden 5 years ago and met his beautiful ladies Wife Judy and Daughter Suzanna and her husband Eric. This family is simply amazing. They have been instrumental in a lot of business and personal decisions we have made. John Dryden has taught me so much over the years. It’s funny I’ve been saying for the past few weeks my Grand Opening is Thursday August 26th and I planned on recording it and sending it to him. Whatever I have accomplished John was always my biggest supporter, he truly made me feel like one of his children. Yesterday part of my heart is gone.  To Judy, Suzanna and Eric and your entire family you are in our prayers. We love you all very much. Thank you for sharing this amazing man with us. Love Juline, Joel, Lauren & Hops.

Bruce met John possibly 30 years ago and worked closely with John. He was a great man . We would attend the home shows with John and Judy several years as Bruce had tickets. It was always fun to be around them both. We attended their Christmas dinners at their home and they always had such nice hospitality. We have a tree they gave us when we married and we call it the John Dryden tree. We always look at it and think of John and Judy. He will be greatly missed and are grateful to have known this wonderful man . Many prayers of comfort and peace to the Dryden family. We love you all.
