Pam and family, you are in our prayers and thoughts.
When I think of John I remember when he bet Jeff $20 that he wouldn’t jump of a cliff at Dale Hollow lake and he did that was a good day. I hope Jeff was there to greet him. Our prayers are with all of you. Love Donna & Jom
Every time I saw John he always had a smile.
John and his family lived close to us when we were kids. He came down once on the motorcycle and gave me a ride — the only one I’ve ever had. John also played in the band. Judy Nighbert Newman
