Worley, my utmost and heartfelt condolences on the passing of John. You and Arlene were the best Mentors to my late wife, Rubye and myself, spending time teaching us about rental property management in the 50s, 60s? I remember we shared stories about our girls and your boys. I think they were in high school together. Please know, again, that my prayers are for John's worthy journey and condolences go out to you and your family at this sad time. Jasper Spears (found on FB)

I am a heart patient just as John was. He had a heart that may have been hurt but he never failed to show me just how strong and big his heart was ! He was a truly a great coworker to work with. He will be missed everyday in the rest of our time on earth. The battles he shared with me were times I enjoyed keeping him in my prayers as I will keep his family held up in prayer for quite a while. May God be with hm on his journey and hold on to this families hand for their journey must continue here till one day we may see him again. Amen
