I have many happy memories of John; working with the afterschool program at Blk. Mtn. Primary and volunteering at the Kiwanis Thrift Shop. He always had so much energy and was such a joy to talk to. He told me many stories of being a principal, his pride for his children and grandchildren, and his love of this community. He will be greatly missed by many here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. RIP dear friend.
My friends and I worked with John at Black Mountain Primary. His legacy is the number of children that John helped and loved through his years in education. It was my pleasure to share time with John and outside of school. He would join many us at restaurants after school. John had a good sense of humor. He was kind, and was always checking on the children and his friends. We have lost a special person. Prayers for all the family.
