John, Jodi and Liz I am sorry for your loss. Pops was a good one! Regardless of what was going on in our marriage Pops was always good to me and showed me love. I miss his fish fries and I guess now everyone will. I know when the girls were born he was there playing the doting Grandpa. I hope you find comfort in knowing his pain is gone. He is now in heaven whooping it up with Alma, Jerry, Jimmy, Robin and Mamaw Anderson. Pops if you would, say hello to my Daddy and let him know how much I love and miss him. I Have always loved you! Rest In Peace my Dear Pops, Rest In Peace!

Prayers for the family during this time. John acted tough but had a good heart especially for his family. I was glad to share almost 10 years with him and the family and to give him 2 of his grandchildren.

This little Light of Mine
I'm gonna let it Shine ...
For 22 years you were a big part of our family, spending many Christmas' and Thanksgiving , and Fishing days together. Every time I bait a hook or cast a line, you will be there, standing beside me. You taught me about so many things like "weight broke the wagon down" and " plenty of fish in the sea" & most importantly for me Leather and how to treat it. I still cherish my Leather Bible cover you made me. I love you Pop. Go rest High on the Mountain and keep Shining.
Love, Sam
