Missing John...This is his month.

Sending my condolences and prayers to Steve ,Linda and family in the short time I worked with John as in home caregiver he welcomed me and made me feel at ease what a joy to see him on those days I will cherish those times may the Lord comfort the family during this time much hugs
Uncle John always had a story for us kids. He and my mom and my other aunts uncles and grandparents were a hoot when they got together. Praying for his kids , to lose a parent is unlike anything. Love you all
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jewell a few years ago, through Linda Jewell. He was such a kind man. I was honored to have him join my team for the Out of the Darkness walk. It meant a lot to me to have him take time out of his day to do this. So glad that you are at peace and no longer suffering. You will be missed.
My name is Margaret Anne Fisher (Jewell). I am John’s daughter. I didn’t know John well but was able to spend some time on the phone with him shortly before he passed away. That was a blessing to both of us.
May God comfort you in your loss and give you strength.
To John’s family, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My name is Charlotte Jewell, I was married to his brother, James, I called him Jim. When Jim left the military we settled in WV, my home state. I believe I only met John once and that was at the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of his mom and dad, two people whom I loved dearly. I feel like I knew him well though because Jim spoke of him a lot and told me stories of their growing up in Jacksonville. A big family but a close and loving family. Take care of each other. It will be rough in the days and months to come. Your “family” in WV will be praying for your comfort.
Charlotte, sons Robby and Scott and their families.
I had the pleasure of knowing John and since the first time I met him, I felt his love. We had the best times singing, dancing and joking around. I will miss my buddy. Rest in peace my friend. Until we meet again.
I was John's caregiver, daughter in law and friend. He nicknamed me "Poco" for Pocahonus. It was such an honor to be his Poco!
Being able to be myself around John was the most important part of being with him. Although I know I have flaws, he always saw the best in me!
Playing BeeGee music loudly in his van, with the windows down and watching him dance while driving, were moments I cherished. John loved getting outside and feeling the warmth of the sun upon his face because he was once a Florida boy!
Taking care of John allowed me to learn so much more within my experience of scope of taking care of people.
His last thing he said to me, (but it was not the first time he said it) "It is always good to see you in the house Poco, and how it makes my day just knowing you are here!"
I do not know what lies ahead for the next week, month or year, but I know John (Geezer) is looking down upon us, knowing he is in Heaven where we often talked about.
