Daddy,
I just wanted to tell you I love you and I will miss you more than you ever will know. Who’s going to help me move. Daddy you were one of a kind and over the years you have mellowed, not as wild or as mad looking. I will always remember the smiles you had and the laughing when you helped me move to Ft Drum this past September. I have never seen you so full of life and happiness as I did then. You enjoyed talking to the young soldiers and others. I wished I could have said goodbye and you had not left this world without someone with you. I love you Daddy and so proud to have been your oldest!!!
Love Always Your Daughter,
Michelle
I’m sorry for your loss

I’ve known Johnny for many years.
I’ll miss him.
Mrs. Shaver, we grew up next door to Johnny, when we were young children. Ofcourse I was older than he was but he was the same age as my younger brother and sisters. What a funny little boy he was. I am just so sorry to hear about his death. The last time I saw him was when we had the Tunis get together and he came. I was glad to see him. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Trust in God, to help you get through this.
Thanks for all the good times we all had with you Johnny,and from one vet to another,thanks for your service and sacrifice for your country.You are not forgotten!!Your friend,Doug Phelps
