I had great admiration and love for this man. He was a very kind soul and I shall always remember his warm and caring voice and smile. He was, to me, a very special individual who has made a mark on so may others' lives. I pray the Almighty will touch them and heal them and make His face to shine upon them and give them peace.

When I think back to all the times I was around John, it brings back so many it's hard to remember them all, but to start I remember a camping trip I took with the whole Wright family and we started a bon-fire and then Lou told us it was time to eat so we went in and shortly after we were in the camper there was a knock on the door and it was the park ranger saying if yall are gonna have a fire this big you better get out here and watch it. In remembering it all John was always saying the best prayers at Christmas and any family gatherings we had, I loved him dearly and he will truely be missed by all. Thank you John for all the times from being kids in Cloud Croft to the Christmas of 2006 you are loved.
