O "Sticky," how saddened I am to learn of your passing. I remember a birthday conversation we had, and we were laughing about heading into our 70's. What happened? There will always be those memories of changing seasons, life's simplicities, and friendships. You spoke many times of going back, so now I envision you in your Model A and driving down Tarkio Road... Rest in peace my longtime friend of over 50 years...

I had know John for years as a colleague in the proud profession of Locksmithing. I've never known John to have a cross word with anyone and have respected him and his sister Jane. My heart is at a loss over the loss of a friend. My deepest condolences go out to John's immediate and extended family. May his proud and honorable soul Rest in Peace in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. My brothers and I were childhood friends of the Caola's in Mantoloking. We have many happy memories of John and his sibs and parents from that time.
