We knew John for many years fishing on the Canal. He and Ronnie would come in and talk just about every time they were down the Cape. Always a gentleman and pleasant. Saw him less than a month ago, he was concerned about his sister. Rest in peace.

We knew John with his buddy Ronnie for many years. Loved to fish and talk about fishing. Always a gentleman and last time we saw him he was concerned about his sister. We were very surprised when Ronnie called us. John and his family are in our prayers. Rest in peace.

He was such a nice man; he always smiled and said, "Hello," when passing by.
