Frances,
Its been a long time since our days back in Radiology at Bethany Medical Center. When I heard of John's passing, I was shocked. I pray that you and your family will find comfort in fond memories of your life with John and the love from friends and relatives. I can't imagine what you are going through or how you are feeling right now, but lean on the Lord for strength. So sorry for your loss and wish I could have been there for you. Take care.

My deepest sorrow to all of Johns family. He was in my family back in the 60's and 70's. We was like brothers. I'll miss being able to call him and talk about our upbringing. You'll be missed until we meet up in heaven.GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Frances even though i don't know you I felt a need to give my condolence. I loss my husband at a young age also. I want to let you know you will make it. There were times I didn't think I would make it. I always found comfort in the scriptures. Isa. 41:10 was one of my favorites. I drew strength when I would read it. I would visualized God holding on to me with his right hand helping me through each day. My heart goes out to you, i dont know what you are going through but I know what I went through and can relate. Prayers and thoughts go your way. Mary

My son, Jake worked for John for several years and is one of Chad's dear friends. I don't know where my son would be had he not met John, but I do know that he is where he is today in part because he did. He was truly a very good man and will be missed. Kate Brewster

I still remember him as the young guy in history class who sat behind me, right next to Kenny Troutman, peaking over my and Diane Beal's shoulders to see our answers. Told him not long ago that I think we got him his diploma. Prayers to your family,

When I hrard that John had passed I had to sit down I couldn't believe it was true people like John don't die , John Wayne doesn't die he was that kind of man . Our thoughts and prayers are with Frances and Chad God Bless both of them.

John bell, in my nearly 30 yrs in the fence industry, rarely did i come across such a remarkable,hard working installer and salesman. john was one of the few who i know as a true professional fence salesman and installer.i knew him for a little time, and even though i am not near he will be missed by me.My thoughts and prayers for the family,and his son chad were said as soon as i heard of his passing.May God Bless all of his family during this rough transition of life to death.I am hopeful Chad will have the strength,courage , and will to carry on his fathers legacy in Mac's Fence.The little i knew of him for a short time,he was a remarkable man in our industry.
