The most honest man I have ever met!- Glenda Lee Allphin
I will miss John's smile and positive words. Helen and family, you all are in my prayers. - Stephanie McCubbrey
Helen, we are keeping you and your family in our
prayers, daily. We love you and cherish the memories
that we have of our time spent with you and John. It
was the Lord's will, I believe, that we were able to
see John, just those few short weeks ago, and share
some memories with him. Again, if there is anything
at all that we can do, please don't hesitate to
call. We love you, Roger and Pat Arnold, Portland,
Oregon.- Roger and Pat Arnold
John was my brother, but also my best friend.
I will miss him greatly.
Kathleen Martin- Kathleen Martin
I will always know my Uncle John as an honest, hard working and
kind man. There are too many nice memories from my childhood to
count. Growing up it was great to spend time at Uncle John and
Aunt Helen's house and hang out with Stephen and Brian.
We will miss you Uncle John. But the measure of a man is the
husband, father, (uncle), and friend to others that he was. By that
measure, you will be with us forever.
Much love to all the family.- Michael VanTyne
David and I saw John as being a very personable fellow in that he made you feel comfortable when you were in his presence, making conversation easy and inviting. We don't ever remember him without a smile on his face, even when he was wearing a neck brace, which had to be very uncomforatble. I have heard it said that memories are the legacy of love. I know you must have treasury of memories to help comfort you at this time.- Lula F. Hester
Helen and family,
My sincerest condolences on the loss of John. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.- Nan Thomas
Helen, there are simply no words to tell you the sadness Buzz and I feel, not for John, but for those of us left behind (for now)! Our friendship has endured through 32 years. What laughter and special memories we've shared through these years. Praise be to God for life eternal through His Son! We will once again laugh together, but I know right now John is talking and cutting up with an angel! Love you so, Sandra and Buzz - Sandra Collins Bukovac
Brian,
Christie and I pray that the Lord will give you the strength to get through this tough time. God Bless and take care!
Sincerely,
The Clayton Family- George Clayton
Brian,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you and Beth and all of your family.

May the Lord be with you all,is my prayer.- Diana C. Perry
Helen and boys; I am so sorry for your loss of John. John and I taught Sunday School together for a while and my favorite times with him were at the Barber Shop. It never took long to cut my hair so I would hang around swapping stories. John, a good man, will be missed. - Joe Harn
HELEN JUST GOT YOUR E-MAIL, SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT HE IS GONE,WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS
LOVE YOU JANET- Janet Kay Lunn
Helen and Family:
Please know that I am thinking of you. I know your loss of John is so surreal. Through your faith and with love of family and friends you will find strength. Love, Cousin Judy - Judy Ivey
John was such a caring and loving husband, friend and for sure a grandfather. Christina will always have fond memories of him as her 2nd grandpa. Helen, you and John had such a wonderful long marriage and an example for others. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.- Vinita Dowell
John was a very kind,friendly gentleman. He always found something to laugh about when he did
not feel like it.
Mr. John Allphin will be greatly missed and our prayers are with the family. - Tony and Doris Davis
The last couple of times I saw and visited with John, it was such a blessing. He truly understood that Christ was his life. I know that we will all see him again soon. I was thinking that he is now with his mother and father and with his brother, Milton and many others that went before him. This should be a celebration, even though he will be missed.
With love in Jesus Christ.
Florence- Florence Siegert
My prayers are with you. John left a wonderful legacy for his family. - Judi Murphy

We have no way of knowing what you are going
through at this time, but our prayers & thoughts
