Mary and family,

I had the pleasure of working closely with John during the last few years. I'll always remember John as a dedicated, honest, respectful, and hard working man. He taught me a lot about pipelines, but also a lot about how to be a good person. I'll miss our conversations over a cup of Starbucks about Stevie Ray Vaughn, football, politics, and life.

John will be dearly missed by many.

Johnny 'rocked' the house every Friday night. My deepest sympathy is extended to his family and loved ones.

My deepest sympathy i will never forget 1965 State AA Champs

To all family and friends,
Well, as the saying goes, "when Johnnie comes marching home"....destiny has finally called this local legendary football hero of the 60's. Johnnie brought "magic" to Friday night football. He was the "Peter Pan" of the gridiron for all who witnessed his extraordinary ability. He had the heart of a "Moses" as in The Ten Commandments. He possessed the likeability of a Red Skelton. Now he has the closure as in Brian's Song. From the entire community of Assumption Parish we extend our heartfelt love to the family.

Mary Beth,
I am very sorry that you lost your father. I have been and will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers! Mrs. Fontenot

I'm so sorry to hear about John. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. The last time I saw John was at graduation. When I saw Donny I would ask how John and James were doing. My heart goes out to the Family for their lost.

Tracy and I were very sad to hear of Johnny's death. Our sincere sympathy goes out to his entire family. He was a real hero to everyone who loved Assumption High and football during those years so long ago. We pray that your pride in all his accomplishments will help you through this difficult time.

My sympathy to all of Johnny's family. He brought many happy times while growing up in Labadieville. May God bless him and keep him.

I was saddened to hear of Johnny's illness and death. Johnny was our high school All-American. We were all blessed to have known him. I know he will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

To James and Jerry and all family members, I extend my deepest sympathies on the loss of your brother.
He will be fondly remembered by many from AHS.
Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

JOHNNY BOY , YOU STOLE OUR HEARTS. GRADUATING CLASS OF '66

Mary and family,
John was such a wonderful person--while you meet many people in your life, there are a few that touch your heart and that you will remember forever--John is one of those people for me. From the moment I met him on the jobsite, I realized John's gift with people. He was a genuinely sincere and honest man--all who knew him were blessed whether they realized it or not. Even when he was being stubborn and set in his ways, he did it lovingly and with respect. I know that I will sincerely miss him.

Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers--I promise to celebrate the memory of his life with you even though it is from far away in Pennsylvania.

Love,
Erinn Webber

I was a high school friend of John's and am saddened by his death.
Deepest Regrets to the family. May God Bless You.

I'm so sorry to hear about John. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I didn't hear about John until today. Please call if there is anything I can do.

Mary,
To you, the children, grandchildren and immediate families, we wish to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Johnny was a hard working man who loved his family. I know he suffered greatly with his illness, but now is resting in peace. I (Fred) cherish the time our families lived in Labadieville, LA during the 1950's. We were all like brothers and sisters instead of just 1st cousins. Later, Johnny went on to become probably the greatest football running back in the history of Assumption High School. May the Lord guide him to the Angelic light. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary,

It was so sad to hear about John's passing. I was just thinking about him last week and wondered how he was doing. At least the pain and suffering for him is over and he's now with the Lord. I pray for the Lord to comfort you and your family in this time and be with you. God Bless John and you.

Dear Mary and Mary Beth, Gayle and I are so sorry to hear of John's passing. I got to know John while working with him on an Air Products job. I am thankful I had the opportunity to develop a wonderful friendship with him. I will always think of him and remember him as a dear brother. John and I always enjoyed eating lunch at Sudies in Pasadena. To everyone in John's family, please accept my deepest sympathy. Knowing John O'Neal enriched my life and I will miss him. Harlon
