John O. BLACKBIRD

It's been 5 years since John's untimely passing and I still think of how he enriched my life by being the breeder of of my beloved black lab, 'Laker', named after the 'Land of 10,000 lakes'------since then she passed on and has joined John up with the Lord------I'm certain John has had great conversations with the many outstanding dogs he bred and loved which have also passed on--------Thank you again for bringing her into my life. Bill Martin, and 'Laker'. St. Louis.

WE HAD GOOD TIMES IN STURGIS

Miss you Man!

Karen, I just learned of John's passing a couple of years ago. I am so sorry for you and your families loss. I'm sorry this is so late. If you need anything I'm here to help.

When I came to the Twin Cities Plant John was one of the first person's I met here also love playing ball with John and Karen you will be missed John.

I had the pleasure of knowing john, Karen and several of their friends. John was a rare bird, in the he was such a genuine "nice guy" (99 % of the time)
I used to ride with him and his lovely bride to Sturgis for a few years, Even met him in the Rockies when he and Karen went up to Alaska that time... and never heard any one say anything bad about him.
Was at his retirement party, and been to his home
He loved Harleys, Karen, People, Dogs, and beer, not necessarily in that order......
