Memories and Condolences
for John Yocum

Not sure what to say?





I was one of John's lunchtime delivery drivers, and I only met John a few years ago, but in that short time he and I built up a nice rapport, me knocking and announcing myself as "Encyclopedia Salesman", or "Batman" always made him laugh. I remember one time I was delivering food and, since he wasn't wearing his leg, I found him scooting on his butt downstairs to get his mail, I told him I would get it for him from then on, but it took a little convincing for him to let me do that for him. John had a great stubborn spirit, and will be missed by myself and by those who knew him from Argento's. John, I wish I could bring you your 2 half gallons of ice tea and your newspaper, my thoughts and prayers are with your family

R.I.P. my friend, You were always there for me when we did our shifts together at the Boyertown Ambulance. We had some really good times and you will be missed. I saw you not that long ago and had a chance to talk to you. My deepest sympathies to all your family.

All who knew John are in my thoughts at this time. John and I worked together at both Boyertown Communications Center and Boyertown Ambulance. We lost contact when I left the area in 2001 but he found me on Facebook about a year ago and would chat from time to time. He will be missed.
