Christine, John, Michelle, & Stephanie,
I remember your father being the kindest dad when we were all kids on Train Street. Your house was where we performed our awful ballet recitals in the driveway--while charging a 25 cent entrance fee! Your dad never minded our crazy antics. He was a great person.

Our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

A sad day once I heard of John's passing. There are so many memories in my life and so many words of wisdom that John gave me.
I have not been around a lot lately but in July I got the chance to go by and talk to John. It was as if he never changed he looked the same and his passion never changed either.
A great man that influenced many of us that grew up with all his wonderful children.
Sadness is with me now but his memory shines brighter.
Will miss you John.
