Heartfelt condolences. I had no idea he passed away. He was working on a portrait of my daughter Katie. I know he was almost finished. I’d love it have it even if it isn’t finished. I lost her in 2006.

Just wanted to say how sorry to know your father is gone. Wanted to let you know I still have the original painting of these 3 ducks and maybe some other of his works lining the walls.                                       Mrs Katie  (Edward “Cholly”) Farmer

MacLeod Fsmily:  We we’re distressed to read about John’s passing. Have known him for years as grew up in local neighborhood with him.  Remember how fast he was in high school. Think he set the record for 100 yard dash 
As I was a hunter, I appreciated his great wildlife art. Acquired many of his prints over the years.   My favorite is the wild turkey,  He was an interesting character and I am sure he will be missed by the family 

Christopher and Vanessa,
My girlfriend and I lived next door to your dad way before you were born. He was so funny the way he would toss out seed to attract different species of wild birds, duck, etc. We were in townhouses in Richmond with individual enclosed yards.  It was quite exciting to view this and then to see the finished masterpieces!
I'm sorry for your loss. God Bless!
Terry Vaughan 

Chris
     We have several of his paintings and he did my portrait many years ago.  I knew him as a classmate from VMI and as a friend.
     We are sorry for your loss.
                               Vaughn Foxwell 

Dear Chris, 
I knew your father well. He painted a portrait of me when I was in the 7th grade and a beautiful portrait of my sister when she was 5 years old. He was a friend to me, my sister, Blair and my mother, Nell Holston. He had a unique and large personality, to say the least. I'm sorry for your loss. 

All the best, 

Berkley Holston
