I was very lucky to know John. He taught me many things over the years. I will always remember the Rube Goldberg stories. Thank you for your knowledge and time spent together. Namaste.

To a wonderful sportsman and gentleman. A great sense of humor.You will be missed by all especially, your friends at Pioneer Valley Sportsman's Club.

John was a great Father in Law and I always enjoyed our visits and time together laughing and sharing stories and a good meal together.
Love you Dad, take good care of Andy and Carol give them a Big Kiss and Hug from me. Love to you all...See you in my dreams til we meet again.

A very special man that we all looked for guidence.RIP my friend.
