Missing you so very much daddy.  Love you.  You're the best.  I love yo to the moon and back.

Until we meet again my dear friend. Contuining to think about you on the daily. Wishing to be able to just make you one more bowl of hot cereal or even your mid day drink. Remembering you kiss your wife every night and telling her you loved her and you see her in the morning; before her passing. I'd always admired that. Now back at it sir. My heart breaks hearing of your passing, but now better you two will be joined together again in eternity. I'm happy to have known you and cared for you and your wife. You'll always have a Special place in my heart. Your girl Johnshia. RIL John

Wish I would have gotten to meet him, he sounds like a great person.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.   May God comfort all of you.

I had the pleasure of knowing John. He was an amazing man who loved with his whole heart. I loved all of his stories about him and his wife Mary Lee and his daughters Marilee and Kathleen. His smile was contagious, when he smiled it made you smile. He will be greatly missed but knowing that he is with Mary Lee and his family makes the hurt, hurt a little less. 
I love and miss you John.

Love Always,
Sara N.

I have to say it is an honor to have known John. He was such an amazing man! His smile could light up a room. My heart aches knowing I will not see him, but I am also at ease knowing he is at peace with his love once again. Good bye for now sweet John but not forever.

John was a kind soul and it was a pleasure to help take care of him. John's smile was one of a kind and will always be remembered.

Rest in love and light John

My father was an amazing man.  I loved him dearly.  I am so thankful he is no longer suffering, and is finally with my mother again.  I am so happy he and my mother adopted me, and so very proud to be their daughter.  
I love and miss you so very much daddy.
