I have known John for a number of years. We first met probably 6 years ago when I first went into the lawn care business and he stayed with me the entire time. He was officially listed as my 3rd customer to sign up for service, and he wanted everything that I had to offer and then some. He was always such a nice and caring man and we enjoyed several discussions on several occations. He was always interested as to how I was and my family. He will be deeply missed. Please let me know when the service for john is planned.
