I will remember John’s genuine smile, and happy go lucky personality. I know I did not see him a lot, but I enjoyed the times we were together. He was a gentleman and family man for sure. He will be sorely missed. RIP John

John was a childhood friend and I don't believe even as a child he had any enemies. He was sort of a gentle giant. He left me with nothing but fond memories set an example to others how a gentleman should act. See you later John
