And friends you and Ms.Shirley have. Our industry has lost the best sales, processing, production, and farmer tha Poultry companies will ever see again. God bless John Henbest and protect Ms. Shirley always

I met John while delivering his Lincoln Planning Commission Packets. Everytime I stopped by his home, he liked to visit for a while before I left. While I didn't know him very well, it wasn't that difficult to tell that he was a really good man. My prayers are with his family.

John loved to laugh and had a great attitude. He cared about everyone. He found the positive in everyday living. I am thankful to have known him and worked with him. My thoughts and prayers will be with his lovely wife Shirley during this time.

John has been a long time client with his beloved pets, but even more so, a friend. We would often visit after an appointment about the navy as my dad was also a navy veteran. We would also visit about health, bulls, jobs and what to do about the abandoned and neglected pets. John (and Shirley) really love animals. I hope they will help comfort Shirley as much as John and Shirley have offered care and comfort to all the 4 legged friends in the area. I will miss our visits and the community will miss John's input and service. My deepest condolances to Shirley and the family.

John was a dear friend to my dad, Jug, and one of the first and most colorful people I met in the chicken business. Always had a joke for you. And mostly they were funny! He and Shirley were a beautiful couple and great people. I'm glad we knew him.
