I knew John from many collectors sites, and we shared common interests. He sent me a part once, and a note inside. Still have both. Fine fellow. Will miss him and his stories.

I got to know John through 20 years together with Bydand Forever, the 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, 1882. Underneath his exterior crust there beat a heart of gold. He will be sorely missed by the whole regiment. "What's like us?"

My dad was in the 5th Cavalry Memorial Regiment with John, so I knew John when I was a kid. Many times dad and i would go over to his house to work on gear, etc and prep for a parade or show. It was a ot of fun. RIP John.

John always called me "BOSSMAN", but I never had to use that on him.He was slow, but thorough/ you just had to be patient with him. John was a man of virtue and character.

I got to know another side of John when TDY with him in Panama. He was kind enough to share some of his tea with me. It was that side of John I came to appreciate. He did live on his own terms which takes great strength. I am so grateful for that TDY to Panama just to experience that precious side of John.

I worked next to John at the Guard back in the 80s. John was a unique individual with a very crusty façade. Two situations showed me he wasnt so crusty after all. I remember him getting down on all fours one day to play with a puppy someone had brought into Avionics. He was just having a blast playing with the puppy. The other time was watching him go through a swap meet of sorts in Cold Lake Canada. Like a kid in a candy store looking at and purchasing military memorabilia. Ill never forget his huge smile as he sifted through all the items. That was the John I remember. Praying for peace and understanding for his family. He was a fine man.

John will be missed. I'll always remember his daily walks in the neighborhood with his dog Bailey. And while John was not a man of many words his presence was felt and will be missed. R.I.P., John.
