John Henry
Mollard
In Memory by Barbara Espinosa
John was my dearest platonic male friend. It would take
thousands of words to describe John as a friend. He was loyal, trustworthy,
willing to listen,fun to be with, a true gentleman of the old school.
When I think of John I think of his twinkling blue
eyes, drinking wine while we made desserts for his Halloween parties, walking
Fashion Square, people watching while we had coffee and a scone at Paradise Bakery,shopping for linens, his love of all things beautiful, laughing
when we played yahtzee, (I taught him to play and beat me at my own game a lot).
If I had a flower for every time John did something nice for someone, I could
walk in a garden of flowers forever. I have so many wonderful memories of my
times spent with John,I will miss him but he will always be with me in my heart
and memories.John's Obituary in Morgantown,WV Newspaper
