I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with John. He had a great wit, wore Mickey Mouse suspenders, could tell a great story or two...and was just fun to hang out with. John could get me laughing to the point that I had tears in my eyes. I have nothing but fond memories of he and Carolyn. My heart goes out to his family.
