To John's beloved family,

Your dad was so very special. He not only was my colleague at work, but also a very dear friend. He hired me at Eastman and I worked with him for about 20. I was also privileged to eat dinner with him, the Johns, and Bob on Wednesday evenings--a very special group of friends. Sharing a love of sports--especially Arkansas Razorbacks--made our friendship even stronger. Be assured his love for Letty and his boys was always the best part of his life! May your memories and love for your Dad sustain you during this time. May God wrap his arms around you and give you comfort.##imported-begin##Carol Kinsey##imported-end##

David, Bryan, Kyle, and family, we are so sorry for loss! John hired David into the Eastman family and his department 28 years ago. He and Letty treated us - a newly married young couple - as family. It was also my privilege to work with John in Cardiac Rehab. John's sense of humor, honest friendship, and true comapssion are gifts he gave to everyone he knew. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time, your parents were a blessing in our lives. May God comfort you, and the wonderful love and memories your family was built on sustain you.##imported-begin##David & Kathy Buroker##imported-end##

Brian, I'm so sorry for your loss. Before my Mom died, I was in Longview quite a bit and enjoyed seeing your Dad at Carlitos. My thoughts are with you and all of your family.
