  14. Mr. John was a man that didn’t meet a stranger. I first met him years ago in the early 90’s, when I moved to Bryan/ College Station area from Crockett. Mr. John loved his Zydeco music and dancing. When I moved away, I would still run into him at different trailrides and we would laugh and dance our boots dusty. He never got tired. I say this to say, you can rest easy now Mr. John. You will truly be missed.

  15. John’s death hit me hard. He was a jokester and I loved hearing his stories. I’ll miss him greatly. My condolences go to the family.
