May his light shine forever!
Mr. O was one of my dearest patients. I had the pleasure of greeting him when he came in and assisting him with his appointments. He was always the first one here, bright and early! He was always so pleasant, so sweet and so sincere and such an humble, genuine person. I surely do miss seeing him in the clinic, but I know he is in a far better place beyond our wildest dreams! My sincerest condolences to Mrs. O and your family. May the peace of the Lord give you all strength and forever cherish your precious memories close to your heart! Mr. O is greatly missed! Peace and Blessings to each of you! Chasity
"We all have wings; some of us don't know why." John knew exactly why. To touch the hearts of everyone that he met. I know he will be deeply missed.
John O was such a good friend to me and a great co worker....I will miss him dearly but will always keep him in my heart...never letting go of the good ole days when we went to meet the guys for Spaghetti Thursdays...he amazed me that he still hung out with all his school buddies...I was in Awe of all of his friendships he had continued over all these years....this is a testament to what a good person he was.
I feel honored to have known him and that I was worthy of his friendship.....I will never forget him. I know that I will see him again one day!
Gwen, I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I know you will miss him so much. The only way I have delt with our sons passing is living with the memories.
We have to believe he is at peace and in the arms of Our Lord! I will pray for you and your family!
