One of my favorite fellow members was a guy named John Atkins. John was a giant of a man, and had played college football at Wichita State. John was a gentle giant, and extremely friendly to this Yankee member. He trusted me with the location of some of his favorite “Honey Holes”. I just found out that John passed away earlier this week at the age of 60. Several members here on Aldeer knew John- Yekrut, Daryl and others. John lived in Opelika, and leaves behind his wife, a son JD, and a daughter named Jenna. He also had four grandkids whom he adored. Rest In Peace, Big John. Jesus saves,but Moses invests
