“ So sorry to hear of the loss of such a fine man. He lived a long good life. Mr. Cecil is a dear friend of his. I have heard all the stories. We would talk to Mr. John Paul over the phone on a regular basic. At his times of visiting the library he became good friends with Charlotte Martin. So on calling John Paul day we always had to wait on her to come by. We each talked to him and enjoyed sharing the local news from Brookhaven . God Bless you Mr. John Paul. We will miss you. ”
