John was our across the street neighbor for many years. He was such a nice guy, one of the truly nice ones. Back in the day he would use his snow blower to blow off our driveway; we've shared food and dog watching and tools and chats over the years, along with Sherry. We will truly miss his smiling greetings and helpful ways... our prayers are with the family as he will be missed so much.
