John was the most greatest guy in the world! The father of my 2 children, Scott Jones loved John like a dad. I always said that John was Scotts guardian angel and he was sent by God to look after Scott and help him with his life. Scott had a mental illness and had a lot of problems in his life. Scott was very lucky to meet John years ago at the courthouse in Corydon, Iowa while he was doing community service. John stood by Scott and never got discouraged about any issue no matter what it was. Scott was lucky to have John in his life for over 20 years. My 2 children called John Grandpa John and they loved him a lot!! I remember when my daughter turned 4 years old. It was her Birthday and John made her a poem and all the words in the poem rhymed. It was a really cute poem about my daughter Emily turning 4 years old! John typed out the poem on a blank white peice of paper and he put the poem in a picture frame . John also had a stuffed teddy bear along with the framed poem for my daughter Emily for her Birthday that year! John was the person that gave my daughter a name we use to call her. It was short for her name. He gave her the name Miss Em for Emily. My daughter has a picture quilt that her grandma made for her and on her picture quilt it says: Grandpa John's "Miss Em". It was a pretty neat quilt. On the quilt it tells u all the names everyone calls my daughter Emily. And Grandpa John called her " Miss Em. "
John, you helped me tremendously with the Tilford family history. You shared information and photos. We did get to visit each other twice, both times in Iowa. John, you will be missed. Paul Gilbert in Mt. Vernon, WA
What wonderful memories I have of John and the entire Snook Family. John, Billy and Francis were like brothers to me, especially after my father passed away. The entire Snook Family was a second family to me and I spent many ours in the Snook home. John was a truely gifted man and I don't think there was anything he could not do. What great memories I will always cherish. My prayers, thoughts and sympathies to the entire family. Donovan & Barb Ellis
John was a grandpa to my daughter Jessica. He put her Christmas toys together. He took special interest in her growing up and always cared about my grandchildren too. He will be truly missed by us. RIP John
