Thoughts and prayers are with all of you! John was a such a pleasure to be around and loved getting together for our family BBQ’s!! You will be missed by all but know you are at peace now!!!
Treasure your memories and know he will always be in your heart!!!!
John was a great guy. He was unorthodox, however I always liked him. He was a savoy man about many things, and my coins are a good example. A good Christian man who will be missed by many. My prayers are with Kirsten, Michelle and Patricia.
Rest in peace old buddy and thanks for being my friend.
