My name is Billey Miller. John Earl was a member of my graduating class of 1958. I am sorry to hear of his passing. He always treated me like a friend in school at Slocomb and I appreciated that trait of his character. He was a kind gentleman when we were in school and classmates liked him for that. I did not keep in touch with him after school but I never forgot his kindness and respect for others. It was an honor to have him as a friend. I sincerely share in the sadness of his passing. I pray God's blessings on the entire family and hope the peace of Christ will be with the family. Thank you John Earl for being my friend in school. Billey Miller
