I was very fortunate to have known John through the dental office that he frequented. To say that he was a kind soul is an understatement. He was such a compassionate man and always made you feel special just having spent a short time talking with you. His presence alone, even in silence made you feel special. The world truly lost a wonderful human being. He is in God's presence now looking down and seeing the impact that he had on us all with his caring nature. Caroline

John was not only a mentor but like a second dad to me. He taught me on everything Glock before I got certified. He was a kind gentle man always willing to help. I will miss him. The Bill Jackson staff will always remember him. Godspeed my friend. Till we meet again…M3
He was a very likeable individual and a great friend!!!!!!!!!
To John’s family I was so fortunate to know John since the mid 60’s when he convinced me to join the Navy. He had a powerful impact on my life and I was able to continue that friendship even during his last years when I would meet him and Martha for lunch in Largo and in the Carolinas. Rest In Peace John you were one in a million.well done 🏆
John was a outstanding Navy Seabee, Law Enforcement officer friend and family man.
Semper Fi my friend until we meet again in Valhalla
