So sorry for the lost of John. I will always remember John coming to Jamboree In The Hills in my Media Trailer and enjoying the country artists and their interviews. He always told me that if we needed someone to fill in and ask a questions, I would always step in! John was a wonderful man and I enjoyed having him around. I use to see him at church on Sunday too. Hold those special memories in your heart of John as you continue through this difficult time.
