Thanks John for leaving us with memories. …and there was the time…….etc….:)
May God comfort the family at this time of loss.

John u gave me my start with Western Electric and we became good friends along with my husband William that dug your yard up for yo swimming pool and did the cement work around it. U and Sarah were good people along with Renee she was still in high school. We love yo family and u will be truly missed. With deepest sympathy Bettye Williams and sister Peggie Spencer White. U also hired her in at Western Electric
I remember during the holidays how John would visit the different lunch spreads we would have and he would have the time of his life eating. He was my first supervisor at Western Electric and he would give me hard time at times and tease me a lot but he was still my friend and I had a special name for him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. –Rae Alexander
Prayers for the family in memory of John.
To Bernadette and Family, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal, may God continue to care for you. I have you and your family in my prayers.
I worked with John at Power Systems in the Board Mounted Power area. He was very realistic and down-to-earth. This made him a joy to work with. Plus, he always had an "extra" smile to loan me when I forgot and left mine at home. He will be sorely missed. Peace to his family and friends.
John's laugh and smile was as big as he was tall. He will truly be missed. Prayers for his family and all he left behind.
There are not enough words to discribe John. He was one of a kind. I have so many things I remember. He was my buddy and I will miss him.
