John Henry was my roommate during my college years, as we lived down town Shreveport in a loft apartment.
John Henry was so kind, caring, loving, respectful, and his humor was like no other.
We stayed up many nights just cracking jokes and having a good ole time.
I considered JH to be one of my best friends, as he and I stayed in contact through the years, and had periodic visits for catching up on things, and reminiscence of the good ole times we shared.
Every year on September 29th I would call him and sing "Happy Birthday Mr President" (Marilyn Monroe Version), and he would chuckle, and say, "Marilyn Monroe, Your Not".
JH's smile was untouchable, and he never had one negative thing to say about anybody!
Though he was quiet the comedian, he was also very humble, and all folks had the utmost respect for him.
Enjoy Paradise My Dear Friend!
