I worked at Oxford and had the pleasure of knowing John as our security monitor. He was such a good man, with a loving heart and great smile. I missed him after his accident and am deeply sorry to hear of his passing. He always spoke so lovingly of his family, especially of you, Mrs. Gill. I will be praying for all of you during this time.

Sad to hear of John's Passing
I was a teacher at Penn's Grove and had the privilege of working with John. He was a tremendous individual. The staff and students loved John and had great respect for him. He had a gentle manner about him and you could tell he loved his job. I was very sad to read that my friend and co-worker recently left us.
my sympathy to you
Janice,
I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. I know that it has been a rough couple months but you must remember the good times and know that when you have known someone as long as you have known John, he will always be a part of you.
