The photo at the top of this page says everything I can say about John. I met John several years ago when he was an Assistant Manager and I was an associate at the Buckhannon Walmart. He was a good boss who treated associates with respect. He had a great sense of humor. At the time, Walmart would make us do the Walmart cheer at each daily meeting. Nobody really liked doing the cheer (Give me a.... W, give me an A.....etc.) but whenever John volunteered to lead it, he would do it in high pitched "cartoon" voice that left us smiling. In the years after he left Walmart, John and Billie would come into the store from time to time and we would spend a few minutes catching up. No matter what challenges he was facing, John always remained the optimist facing the world with the same, sometimes mischievous, smile that touched all those around him.
God Bless you John, and God Bless us all for having known you!
