It was intriguing when i first met Mr. John in Grace church in 2001. The reason being, my father's name was exactly the same as his. He's son's name the same as my brothers. Also intriguing was he favored my father in his facial features. Though it has been years since I had seen him, I remember him as a very kind gentleman. I remember he liked to burn wood for heat in the winter as did I. Back when Grace decided to buy and renovate the Grace house, there were many cherry trees to be removed. After they were laid on the ground, with the help of Lynn Bullocks logsplitter, I cut up and split the wood. There was a massive pile of wood. Enough for several families to benefit from. Remembering John used wood, I told him he was welcome to as much as he needed. I also offered to the Bullock family as well. John offered to pay for the wood. I made a suggestion that he make a donation to Grace as it was their wood. I cherished the short time shared between us. God speed and RIP. Thanks for being a friend, if only for the short time we shared at Grace.
