Mr. John A Hargis

He was an entrepreneur in the apparel industry and owned his own manufacturing firm for 45 years. He served the Lord by being an RCIA instructor, a lector, a hospital Eucharistic minister, and was called by many to lead the rosary for their loved ones. God gave John the gift of loving Him by loving and serving others.

Hargis, Jr. and wife Carolyn, Jennifer King and husband Morgan, Kristina Kane and husband Patrick, grandchildren Cindi Hargis, Emily Kathryn King, Lauren Elizabeth Kane, Lindsey Rose Kane.
