He always made you feel at home. I remember when Priscilla would ask what he wanted for dessert and would list blackberry cobbler or peach.....he would always say “That’d be fine” and she always chuckled at him. John smiling all the while. 💙
FROM THE DAUGHTER OF ROY AND ROXIE WOOD, PATSY , CINDY AND SANDY AND FAMILIES. I REMEMBER MY COUSIN JOHN CALLING ME AFTER MOM PASSED AWAY, HE WAS TELLING ME HE HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY AND WAS VERY SICK AND THAT HIS FAMILY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO TELL ME HIS STORY, JOHN WAS TELLING ME , HE WAS IN BED AND THE CEILING OF HIS HOME OPENED UP AND THERE WAS A 747 WITH THE BACK OPEN AND MOM , DAD AND MY MOMS PARENTS AND MY AUNT DOROTHY MOMS SISTER IN THE BACK SAYING COME ON JOHN TIME TO GO. HE SAID HE TOLD THEM IT WASN'T HIS TIME, AND HE TOLD ME THAT HIS FAMILY TOLD HIM I WOULD THINK HE WAS NUTS FOR TELLING ME THAT STORY, I SAID JOHN THANK YOU FOR LETTING KNOW THEY ARE ALL OK BECAUSE , I CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY AND MOM HAD TOLD ME THAT HER MOM AND DAD AND DADDY AND HER SISTER DOROTHY HAD COME TO VISIT HER SO WHEN I TOLD JOHN THAT , HE SAID HE WAS HAPPY HE HAD CALLED ME. I SAID JOHN , NOW YOU TELL THEM WHO THE NUTS ARE. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, THIS STORY ALWAYS MADE ME SMILE AND THINK OF THE NEPHEW OF MY DADS THAT THEY ALL LOVED SO MUCH , THAT THEY WENT TO HIM SO HE WOULD LET ME KNOW EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT. GOD DOES WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
Uncle John was an awesome uncle. There are a lot of memories of him, Aunt Priscilla and the kids being down at grandpa's. My love, thoughts and prayers are with the family.
