    John was a true Southern gentleman! We knew him for many years through Land of the Sky Realty, and he was always went out of his way to be thoughtful and kind. He was so proud of his dear Betty, who produced such beautiful paintings. John will be sincerely missed by those of us who were fortunate enough to know him. As he so often said, with a big smile, "God bless!"
