RIP JD.
You were one hell of a guy. So down to earth and fit in like one of the homies. I still think you were a part time comedian!
No one will ever be able to make a “JD special” sandwich for us like you did during those wild sonic days!
Rest peacefully brotha. It’s been an honor.

John and I extend our sincere condolences to you and your family, Christine. You and JD always made us feel like we had a home away from home the many times we stayed in Peachtree City. You both had a way of turning guests like us into friends. I know how much you and JD loved each other. That love will stay with you forever. There simply are no words that seem adequate at a time like this. God bless you and your family.
