Memories of John
He whistled a tune as we got on the bus.
He always had a nice "HELLO" for us.
He always had a nice smile on his face.
It would brighten our day in any case.
No matter what our destination,
He always made it a perfect vacation.
From the moment that we drove away,
He had a million things to say.
He always had a story to share.
He would tell it continually until we got there.
He seemed to know us all by name.
No matter who we were, he treated us the same.
He always had the bus decorated neat.
The animals and such couldn't be beat.
Every year he'd take us to the fair.
He always made sure we had fun there.
A true family man, that was he.
More devoted to them he could not be.
Nobody can replace the kindness he gave,
So about him, this day we all rave.
He left behind memories we all have here.
To all of us he'll forever be dear.
