“Carolyn and family, Even though we never met I'd be remis if I didn't send you my condolences. I've known John since we lived next door to each other as kids. Last text I got from John was just under a month ago. Sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Bill Snyder”

Paul Cooper wrote a sympathy message

“Carolyn and family, John and I grew up in Chattanooga; he in the Red Bank community and I in the St. Elmo community. We met and became friends during the couple of years that we shared at David Lipscomb College. Our contact across the years has been on occasional visits when I was in Sparta or Cookeville, but more frequently through reading his "Ole Country Lawyer" posts, FB, and updates from my cousin and John's good friend, John Sims. My warm condolences to you in your loss. Paul Cooper”
