John has been a good friend to me since 1975. He was always good to me. I will never forget my friend. We spent many hours in the wrestling room and at tournements. And many more fond memories. Until we meet again my friend.

Very sad to hear of John's passing. It's been many years seen I had seen John. Fondly reflecting on playing sports at Tulare Union with an energetic, strong, intelligent guy. John had a unique perspective on life and the world and cherished being a dad. He will be missed by all who knew him. Truly one of the good ones... May peace be with his immediate family and close friends during this difficult time. Brad A. Ross, Scottsdale, AZ
