  1. Sorry for your loss. Praying for the family. I remember growing up and going to his house. He used to cook the best chicken on the grill. We had so much fun with our cousins. A few years ago my husband and I stopped by the care center where he lived. My husband pushed Uncle John around in his wheelchair and Uncle John showed us around where he stayed. May God bless you. RIP Uncle John.
