    John was our friend and buddy. He took good care of my sister Sharron. He wanted to marry her. Most folks don’t understand John and Sharron. They were special to each other as John was special to all of us in his own way. He was a good man. We will miss him terribly. We talked on the phone many times throughout his trips to the south. I knew he was in trouble when he didn’t call or answer last weekend. Please keep in touch with us and my sister, she is devistated too. We are praying for John and for you, his family.
