John was a classmate and friend for many years, the days at Lourdes and then Cathedral. I know he will be missed by his family and friends. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.

I was always glad to be able to call John on any question I had about his shop inventory and now the beautiful rifle that he hand-selected for me will have a special meaning.
