John will be missed by many who knew him and his kind ways. His legacy will not be forgotten. I am blessed that I knew him.
A true gentleman and dedicated husband and father. Always an enthusiastic friend to help out or join in the fun and games. An example to us all.
The world will be a little more empty without his smile and laughter, but his memory will remain alive in our hearts and collective souls of friends and family.
Prayers for comfort and strength during this sad time for Joan and the Gullett family members. Take pride that we had such a wonderful man in your lives.
Rest In Peace, John.
