    I am proud to be Johns cousin. He was such a nice guy. He was indeed a hard worker. Working in the fields or on a piece of equipment always. He was a person who cared. He will be missed by family and friends.

    Uncle John was one of a kind. Full of humor, whit and lots of LOVE. If you ever needed help and he could give it, you had it. You could tell when he was trying to pull one over on you by the twinkle in his eyes.He will be missed by so many.
