Dear Family of John Banks, We are very sorry that we will be unable to come to the memorial service today. I love that you planned to have everyone bring chairs and maintain social distances outside (: ) Dick woke up with a sore throat this morning and, since he is going through radiation for a skin cancer, we felt that it would be best to stay home; both for his health and the health of the others. Dick and I both taught with John at Littlewood and have such fond memories of our times with him. Please know that we will be with all of you in spirit.
Fondly and Agape,
Virginia and Dick Dolder

Reverend John Banks was a praying and a preaching Pastor . His presence will be missed . He was the Pastor for many years at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church , in the Arredonda Community. I served under his leadership sponsoring programs for years, and watched him faithfully serve his congregation. He was there for families and ready to serve, when called upon .
"May the work I've done Speak for Me".

Have known Rev. Banks for many years. We worked together at Littlewood Elem. School, fellowshiped together, he served on our Caring and Sharing Learning School Board. He was an individual that was always there to help out and share his services in any way that was needed even when you didn't even know that you needed it. GOD
PUT HIM HERE TO SERVE AND THAT WHAT HE DID...
HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED.

Rev. John Banks had a wonderful, likable personality. He was a great parent and a beloved professional colleague in Alachua County. My condolences are extended to his wife Carol, children and to his large extended family. God’s peace abide with you.
