I knew Johnny when we were kids. We lived across the street (Truman Street) from him and his family. They were wonderful neighbors and I have great memories of the time I spent with all of them. John and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I didn’t know John (my uncle) as well as most of you since my mom and dad (Al and Del) raised me and my sisters in Minnesota. The memories that I do have are very fond and strong in my mind. When I was younger every year we went to Indiana to visit Grandma and the rest of the family. Visiting with uncle John was always the greatest time. I remember hi m taking us to the fire department on many occasions and giving us a ride on the fire engine, sounding the sirens, and letting us go in the snorkel to see the city from what seemed like a mile in the sky. As a young boy I thought that was the coolest thing ever (part of me still does). I remember being at his lake home and having so much fun visiting with other uncles and aunts and cousins. He was a great man and risked his own life to save the lives of many others while he was here. It’s very sad to lose someone so exceptional.
