John was a friend and fellow Vet. I will miss him and talking to him. I am so sorry I could not attend.

I've known John Ed all of my life and never had anything but respect for him. He always brought my grandmother (Edna Shinn) a duck he'd killed for her birthday and she was so proud of it. Mr. Philips was a kind and caring man to so many people. I will miss seeing him again.
