I just found out, a year and a half later. We had a lot of fun and adventures, working together for so many years. A great guy and a great family. A lot of good memories from the best days of my life. Semper Fi

John was our roofer for many, many years, and we will miss his warmth and friendship. It was always nice to talk to him about life, as well as work. We are so sorry to hear of his death.
