Oh Mr. John you was a very dear friend close to my heart. He and "my guys" our morning coffee crew at Burger King. Monday through Friday I would always get to spend time with my guys. We talked about life, hunting a lot, and his grandchildren I would share pics of my little girl and he was an all around great human that was selfless and would help anyone who needed it. I will miss our little chats and you my friend always have a place in my heart. I love you and I feel so blessed to have been able to make such a wonderful person. I already know you are in Heaven hunting with your family.
