Sorry for your loss, known him for 80 years. A good man from a good family
What can I say, except “I’m sorryâ€.
What can I do, except share your sadness.
I met John several years ago and he was a wonderful man. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Dearest Dixie and family,
We are all so very sorry for the loss of your John. We wish we could be there to celebrate his wonderful life, unfortunately, we live too far away. Even living far away from all the family back east we still feel a kinship and love to all of you. Having Facebook helps and without it, I don’t think we would feel so connected. I’m happy we have this tool to keep in touch.
Mom and Dad loved you and John so much. I still look at all the pictures you sent to them over the years and enjoy each and every one. Please know our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful family through the time of grieving that comes with the loss of someone so dear! Love, Anna and family 💛
I was sorry to hear of Mr. Acuff’s passing. My prayers are with you all.
So sorry for your loss. Uncle John was a big part of my childhood. Karen, Carla, Tim, Susan and myself had plenty playtime together and we always got excited when their Uncle John would pick up lil Tracy.
