To My Family, Uncle John to me was just a laid back Fellow, he was soft spoken, but not a push over. He carried a presence of authority which is in a child of God, We set down from time to time and discussed the Word of God and his knowledge of the Word was obvious, he could break it down to where when we parted I'd have a understanding that I felt like I was getting prepared to be able to feel a closeness to our Father, Unk has left this place to take HIS place that has been set aside for Him, REST EASY, and I pray that WE will meet again in that beautiful place called HEAVEN!
