Marlene and Mark I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was such a wonderful person, they do not make gentlemen like him anymore. I loved all the stories he would tell me about my family, and growing up in Provident. He was always like a grandparent in the stands cheering me on when I played basketball in school. John will be deeply missed by many.
