Dear Judy I have fond memories of coming to your apartment and listening to John play and sing . Love you all Terry 724 504 1158 call and let me know how you are doing sometime

Sending prayers and condolences to Judy and family. It was always a pleasure to run into John at our dads place and chat. He always had such an endearing presence and loved to make people laugh.

Chris, so sorry to hear about your dad. My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. RIP

He will always be part of my story and memory--he even cut down trees for my dad out in Center Township. Rest in peace old friend

I have too many memories to relate in this space. John knew I loved him since I was a little girl and he treated me like a friend. He was such a huge presence in the world. Those who knew him well will miss him dearly
