John was a dear and loyal friend. A true gentleman . Always greeted one with a smile. He was truly proud of all his children and adored Jackie. Another pal to whom he was devoted was Rhody,his shadow.I will miss him as will all his friends and acquaintances.

John was a dear friend who was devoted to Jackie and very proud of all his children. He was a loving “dad” to Rhody as well. John had a smile for everyone and was a true gentleman and loyal friend. He will truly be missed by many.
