My sincere condolences to Mother Pitt and the entire Pitt family. I was saddened to hear about Johnard. We all grew up together in JC Morgan like one big family. There are a lot of good memories and that's what we will always have to reflect on. I leave encouraging words to the family to keep looking unto the Lord for strength and comfort during this time and days ahead. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. You all are in our prayers. The Robinson Family!
My deepest condolences to the Pitt family. I'll always remember John as an incredible athlete in track and football, and as a friend whose energy and determination inspired everyone around him. He will be deeply missed by all of us who knew him from our school days.

So sorry to learn of his passing. He was a great neighbor and true friend and man of God. I wish this world had more people like him. He helped so many people over the time I knew him, including me, and I always admired that about him. So, with that being said, I will truly miss him. I will miss our talks and Duke and Sheena. Wow. So many memories. Thanks for showing me what a true friend and neighbor looks like John. Rest easy brother. We will see each other again in the next life...
