So sorry to hear about john....we had tons of fun working at massey yard in watertown and we had a apartment together in syracuse when we both worked in dewitt yard...we rode motorcycles together and ran around to many bars back in the day. Wonderful laid back guy...i was able to make time to visit him when the railroad transferred me to jacksonville around 2018 and we caught up over a nice lunch. He will be missed .

So sorry to hear of John’s passing. Wanted you all to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God is holding you all in the palm of his hand. Find comfort in knowing he is at peace now and no longer suffering. Also in knowing that such love and caring was provided for him by Betty and her family.
