Julie, you and your family have our deepest sympathy. John was a great friend to my family and was a great neighbor to all that knew him. He was one of the "founding fathers" of the neighborhood pool, and built three iconic homes in Tamassee Park. He was an engineer who could solve any practical problem. John and Phyllis were a fun loving couple with tons of personality. I am sure they are having a joyful reunion in heaven. God bless.

May God's peace be with you. "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you...Do not let your hearts be troubled and do be afraid." John 14: 27 Our sympathy.
