I got to know John when we served together in the Army Reserves and attended several summer camps with him. We became good friends and I will never forget him. He was one of a kind. When my family would go through Memphis on our way to Colorado, we always stopped to visit with John and always looked forward to that. I respected and admired him very much.

John was one of my favorite human beings from Memphis. To say that he was a character was an understatement and really not the whole picture of this great man. He was the very essence of compassion, of duty, and humanity. His sense of humor generated his particular brand of magic. I am truly saddened by his passing. Heartfelt prayers for his equally outstanding wife and children.
Rest in peace, Uncle John. I will never forget all the wonderful Memphis adventures and holiday excitement you and Aunt Carol made possible. Thanks for the many cherished memories. Your nephew, Greg
My playmates were smaller and younger than John and we roughhoused quite a bit. He respected us and treated us much nicer than many older boys. Was fortunate to see him in the last few years and he was just as entertaining as ever. Memphis has lost an icon!
John was such a giving man, during the years that I lived in Hall county John was my attorney of record and was always available to share his wisdom. I loved his sense of humor! He will be greatly missed by all.
My sincerest condolences Carol and family. John was truly an honorable man, a difficult thing to be at times in politics and the law. I feel blessed to have known him. My prayers fo all. May God watch over you during this difficult time. Becky
My deepest Sympathy To Carol and family!!! John was my Lawyer but most of all A wonderful friend to Ted and to me!! RIP dear friend🙏
JOHN WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP PEOPLE AND HE WAS SO VERY NICE ALL THE TIME I KNEW HIM WHEN I LIVED IN MEMPHIS HE SEEMED LIKE HE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY. I KNOW HE SURE LOVES HIS WIFE AND FAMILY.
