I loved your Dad so much when I was growing up. He and my Dad, Jack Nowlin worked together and I thought John was the best looking guy I'd ever seen! He and Kristen were so nice. I have great memories of them. So sorry. It's so strange losing a parent. But what a great one you had! Sending love and peace to your family. Andria

I waited tables at Cafe Prego in the 90's. Every week we'd have hundreds of customers, but Mr Compton always stood out because he, and his wife, were always friendly and kind to everyone. I haven't seen Mr. Compton since the late 90's, but his kindness has stuck with me all these years. That's a testament to his character. So sorry for your family's loss.
