John 17:24 “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.”

John was a giving man that leaves a legacy to be remembered by all. Johnny gave all things in his life such as his knowledge and labor to his family for years. He would do anything for anyone, such as working on cars, building houses, moving family members and do just about anything for them. John loved all his family and friends dearly.

John was a wonderful husband (Mr. Wonderful) who loved doing any project for her, like building her a house or two. He showed her love in so my ways. They had a wonderful life together for 50 years.

John was always so giving and loving to his children and grandchildren. Giving piggy back rides, playing games of monster and lots of other things like many golf cart rides. Even would sit with the grandchildren in tiny chairs for their enjoyment.
