I had only known Johnny for about 6 months. I bowl on Tuesdays and I was shocked to learn of his death as I was one of the last people he spoke to before he passed last Tuesday. It's sad to me because he had a nice personality and we shared some good laughs. He should be remembered for treating everyone with Respect and Friendliness. He was also an amazing bowler. My next strike is for you big man!

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of John B. I worked with him for a few years at the bowling alley. What a nice guy, just plain and simple. John will be missed

John was a friendly at the bowling alley that I enjoyed working with as well. I would ask about his golf game and it was fun to just be around him. Thanks for the memories John, you will be sorely missed.

Coming to bowl on Monday nights will not be the same. John's help and humor will be sorely missed. My sympathies and prayers go out to his entire family.
