Who could forget the many times at the old ball park? I remember Worm playing the outfield still very clearly! Leaping, jumping, falling over the outfield fence and digging like a "worm" to get to the baseball! The big round glasses under all the hair! Awesome.
John was a great fellow. Glad to know him. I hadn't seen him since my folk's farm sale.
Peace be with you and family.....

Man Oh man! The great memories at the old ball park fill my head to this day of Worm playing the outfield! Leaping, jumping, digging like a "worm" to get to the ball and falling over the fence to make an outstanding catch! He'd always had the ball clamped in his glove.
I last saw John at my folk's farm sale. Glad I got to see him again.
John was a good guy that I'll never forget....
Peace be with you and for the family.
