I am saddened to learn of the loss of my cousin.
I was saddened to hear the news of John's passing. He was always happy to answer my questions and share a little bit of his day whenever I visited the plant; I truly enjoyed our interactions. I am praying for peace, comfort, and strength for you and your family during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
Ryan M.
I didn't know John, but I worked with Brenda for a short time. I know they were a happy family. Sending love and prayers.
I worked with John for 20 years and the thing I'm going to miss the most is those conversations. You never knew which way they would go but they where always great. Most of the time he was the only one that would catch my weird or obscure references. John was one of the smartest people I have ever met and I had never heard him raise his voice in anger or say anything bad about anyone. John was one of a kind and we're going to miss him.
Always looked up John. He was not only a brother-in-law, he was also a true friend. He was the nicest person you could ever meet and will truly be missed!
John is an old friend of mine. We worked together many years. Very meek and mild mannered. John stood out in a crowd. He had working knowledge of his creator and I knew him as a deep thinker. My deepest condolences.
I worked with John in Stanfield, NC, there was nothing more important to him than Family and ensuring that he made them proud. He was hard worker, a loving father, husband and friend. It was an honor to work with him. May God grant love and comfort to all his family and friends who should know that he is resting peacefully -- proud is too small word to show the impact John Whitley made on those who knew him.
I didn't know John, but his wife Brenda is my niece. I send my sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time. May God bless you with his comforting grace and goodness.
