I met Jack through the NCPP. We patrtolled so many nights and logged so many miles helping the KCK Police take a bite out of crime. Jack was a great guy, always willing to help and guide people into a better way of life. He had such a vast knowledge of mechanics, electronics and aviation. I miss you Jack.

John left me with many good memories form the days we worked together at 1425 Oak and at the Data Center. I remember a sailboat ride he gave me at one of the area lakes. I also remember him as being very dependable, knowledgeable and trustworthy - an all around good guy.

John and I ate lunch together for many years at the data center. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago.
