I'm very sorry to hear of John's passing. We worked together at Auburn Creek Golf Range in Victor for 8 years. He gave me my first set of golf clubs (real woods) and taught me how to properly swing a club. He was always a very kind man and interesting to talk with. My condolences to the family.

A nice man--always enjoyed talking with him at Hidden Treasures.
