The way you made me laugh and smile. You loved your children so much. We all miss you dearly. We have had some big milestones lately and it just isn't the same without you here. We are happy to have you in our hearts and pain free in heaven. Much love, your daughter-in-law. <3
I knew John at Lincoln High School, he was always kind, easy going had a great sense of humor! I’ll share a memory: When we were in high school, I told him that our Labrador had a litter of puppies and we were trying to find homes for them. He immediately said he wanted one for duck hunting! He came to the house and picked out a black one...Several months later I saw John at a convenience store getting out of his truck. As he stepped out, a black wooly-bugger kind of creature jumped out of the cab of the truck! I exclaimed John! What is that thing?!! He said in a humerous-sarcastic voice, “that’s my dog Blue! The “Lab” you gave me!”....I shrunk a little and giggled...oh, I didn’t mention the daddy dog was a poodle??!!!....and that how John was actually one of the first owners of a future pedigree: “Labradoodles!” I told John that he should come by and meet Blue’s brothers: Wolfie, Bugger, Egad and Thing! He laughed and said Blue was really a great dog!
It was so great to see him several years ago at a high school reunion... we laughed really hard at that great memory! RIP John! Say hi to Blue!
He was an amazing carpenter who did beautiful work for many of Tallahassee’s finest!
John was a great help at my house. He helped me move there. And did some repairs for me. I learned a few carpentry tricks from him. I will miss him. All the best to his family.
