My condolences to our Hancock family. My heart hurts for you all during this difficult time. Johnny was such a great Big Bro! Remember all the good times and great memories; hold those close to your heart! His smile and good heart will never be forgotten. Great big hugs and prayers to you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of your loss.
Dearest FAMILY,
I’m so VERY sorry and I know my card won’t make it to let you know how much I loved JOHNNIE … with his beautiful spirit and generous, kind nature … I’m glad Marty will be there for you … as he’s beyond grief and I know he and I would NEVER want to have had Johnnie to suffer …and when Greg died and I was grieving so also – my Catholic Monsignor said, do not be said and believe “he’s with you as he’s in Heaven …and I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT TOO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS INTERVENING WHEN I AM HAVING PROBLEMS. So keep him with you in your hearts & mind … I even, sometimes, ask Greg to help me solve something … and it happens! GOD LOVE YOU ALL …
My sincere condolences to the family.
Bill and I are sad to hear of Johnny’s passing. He was always a friendly guy and loved everyone. I remember when we were young Mr. Hancock brought Johnny over because he had gotten his hands in battery acid. He was always a car guy and loved to fix things. He’s in the heavens above with his mom and dad. RIP my friend! Penny and Bill Pazier.
My deepest condolences to all Hancock family. Johnny was a big teddy bear. I remember when I was a little girl we were at church for alter call I was holding Johnny’s hand. I was so scared I thought he was a giant. I asked my Grandma how does he fit in a bed? My Grandma just laughed at me. I have so many great memories with all the Hancocks. I will keep you all in my prayers.
l worked with John and always found him very fun to be around, never a loss for words always seemed to be in a good mood. l will miss your friendship.
So sorry to hear of Johnny’s passing. A sweetheart of a man, and so easy to work with. More people needed in the world like this man. Rest in peace, Johnny.
I was so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I was his mail carrier for 13 years and he was never without a greeting….or a smile. His passing will leave a void in so many lives. My condolences go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Elmo. We went to high school together and he was a good friend. He looked out for me always, he was like a “big brother” to me.

I am so sad to hear about Johnny’s passing. Always smiling, joking and caring. I will always think of him when I go to the football games and miss seeing him at the State Fair working security. I first met Johnny when I was just a kid age 10. I will always remember him and will forever miss his great big hugs and smile.
