Linda - Just heard of John's passing Friday at the tax office. I was taken back and I knew I hadn't seen him out in the yard for some time now (as I live across the lake). We will all miss John in the days to come. If there is anything I can do please let me know!

Although I haven't seen John Thomas in over 50 years, I was sorry to hear of his death. He was my cousin because his grandmother was my mother's sister. His parents often brought John Thomas and his sister Patricia to the store my parents ran on the Rosman Highway. I also remember going to Patton Pool with them when I was a child. From his obituary, it sounds as if he had a loving family and a good life. I send my condolences to the family and friends.

I like to send my sympathy out to the family; love John Thomas during our childhood our parents were best friends. All the fun things the family did together we were always partners; brother and sister. As we grew old, drifted apart going separate ways. But, always memories in my heart. Pat, John's sister I love so and her beautiful daughters. I cherish them and send my deepest condolences to them. In school, always a chuckle and smile from John. Happy Days! Breaks my hard to loose a close friend. God is in control, rest in peace my dear friend.

My Dear, Dear Friend,t I feef your pain and loss so deeply. You will have a lot of hard days ahead of you but you're a survivor and I know you'll come through this with your usual strength and grace. I will always remember the wonderful times we had with you and John at the lake, the beach, dinners and what ever adventures we could dream up. He and Arves were pretty good sports about our many adventures. They're probably up in heaven fishing right now. Love, Linda
