John was one of the most knowledgeable people I ever met. He could fix just about anything, very inventive, and an amazing boat builder ( he actully built one in his garage and it was the smoothest riding boat I have ever been on).
He had a very dry sense of humor, and even though he had multiple copyrights for his inventions, he remained a very humble man. John was sincerely one of the nicest people I had the honor of calling friend. He will be missed.
