    John, thank you for the 12 1/2 years of hard work that you did for our company, you were an important part during the years of our biggest growth and we appreciate that. We are thankful that God has blessed our company every day for 42 years and trust Him for the years ahead, and pray that He will bless your new endeavor also. Our continued prayers for your family, Mike and Kim Cook.

      You lost a wonderful employee because you didn't want to listen to someone that had your back for all the years. Sad you guys basically pushed him out. You will find people like this are very hard to come by. Think about this when the next time someone comes to you on how to change or fix things.

    John I'll be happy to watch whatever you want to post. It's been my experience that the larger a company gets the more they tend to forget who got them there. Those companies don't usually last for the long haul. They tend to not be able to keep people working for them. I'm glad you are happy with the change. Being happy is important. Nobody wants to go to work everyday and be miserable. God bless brother.

    hey, you can still be That Chipper Guy, just show some shots of you using nippers to edge a shape out of some tile. Would that make you That Nipper Guy? I dunno, this requires more thought than I am currently capable of.

My thoughts are that corporate greed was your demise of chipping! I have so much to say but I’m a little angry now cause to me it seemed like you kept things going smoothly to keep the production up! I’m thinking they’ll be missing you when all the little things you did to make things happen aren’t going to be happening and there’s going to be a great big drop in production and they’ll be scratching their heads wondering WHY! Say hi to MRS chipper and the chipper bunch and I wish you the best in moving forward to make a happy family life!!!!!

    While I've never personally been in a situation - where I worked with family, I know that it often has its own set of challenges. Add to that the tragic death of a love one, figuring out life after the loss of said love one and navigating thru the new dynamics of everyday life had to be stressful for all. I sincerely hope that now that the employment relationship has been fractured - obviously with some hard feelings - that as Christians and good people that in time some wounds will heal and that the adults can restore their "family" dynamics to the point that your children's relationship to their maternal grandparents is strong and happy as it was when things were going smoother. There will always be a multitude of ways to make a living (jobs) and in an ideal world one should seek out one that makes them happy. There is no substitute for a the special relationship between a child and a set or two of loving grandparents and vise versa. Best of luck to all and I've really enjoyed the videos you have put out the 18 months or so since I discovered you.

    John l have watched for a while and never commented. But you have to be happy with what you do and of course you need a good income to take care of all of your family. Stay strong and keep your faith in. Jesus and let him guide you and you will do very well at whatever you decide to do.Thanks for the update was wondering where y'all were. We will be praying for GODS BLESSINGS AND DIRECTION ON YOUR FAMILY.
