As a little boy he was Pauls' best freind and love to go with us on family vacations. We Took him to Dallas to Six Flags and he disappeared with Paul,running from one ride to another.
He loved the roller coaster and anything that would get him wet. It was hot day!
What a fisherman he was , caught two fish at one time. Although he would not eat them because they had bones. Said he would only eat Long John Silver ! So he ate french fries and losts of ketchup,
When we took him skiing he came up the very first time he tried.
As a neighbor he was the best and we will miss him dearly.
Never be forgotton !

Mr and Mrs Hood I am Emma-Lee's Mother and I wanted you to know that although I have not lost son or daughter. I have lost Parents. And I lost very Close friend the way you did John, although is was not related it still hurt me very much because I had just spoken to him two days before and felt like it was my fault because I was not able to help him it took years for me to understand it was not my fault and that he was in a better place. I pray Heavenly Farther will Send the Comforter to you and your Family to Speak Peace and Truth to you all and that he will hold you in his loving arms and lift you up as you go through this terrbile time in your lives. May the wonderful spirit John had also be with you and help you to understand he really Love you all and he is looking forward to the day when you can all be together again.
