We are so sorry for your loss. I remember all of your family growing up and seeing you all the time at Cecil and Esters house. Your family was always kind and loved to laugh and have fun. I know your father/husband will be deeply missed. He left a great legacy to all of you and instilled a passion for fishing and the great outdoors. I know that he is in heaven fishing and maybe even hunting right now. May you find peace and comfort every time you go out and do things that he so loved to do. With Deepest Sympathy!

Please accept my sincere apologies. John was a classmate of mine. He will be missed. When John was in the second grade he would bring worms in his pocket to school so that he’d have them to go fishing after school. Your husband/father was a caring person that loved the outdoors. Deep regrets to you….Don Greene

Such a horrible tragedy. I haven’t seen JJ in many years; it’s nice to see that aside from the goatee, he pretty much looks the same! It’s that smile that I remember 🙂 I feel so terribly sad for J’s kids and my thoughts and sincerest condolences are with them.
My heart goes out to you and your family John. Thoughts & prayers are with all of you.
I was very sorry to hear of JJ’s death. I haven’t seen him in years and wasn’t sure where he was, but thought of him and the old days occassionally and always had a good laugh. We had some good times! You ALL are in my thoughts!! RIP JJ
