As a child, I fondly remember how great it felt when cousin John Henry came to visit us, his relatives from Baltimore. He brought happiness, kindness and laughter. His presence and his spirit made our days much brighter. He will always be in our hearts and greatly missed.

John Henry was one of my big brothers. He genuinely cared about me and he would check in from time to time. Too many memories for sharing here, but I shall carry them all in my heart. He was one of a kind and I loved him. I can't remember him not being in my life. Your baby Sis, Flossie Mae

John,

Was a good friend whom I met when we moved into the house across from him. He showed me alot about fixing cars, and other small engine tools and about BBQ. We had a lot of good talks sitting in his garage over the years and he will be truly missed. Rest in Peace John
