Read MoreFond memories of John when I got licensed in either 7th or 8th grade. Dad would take me to Linden from Wayne and bought my first rig there a TS-511S then a Icom IC-215. Very nice fellow, a great elmer and a business man who filled a void really needed in the area. John has been gone for many years now but his memory is not forgotten! RIP sir!

We are sad when a loved one passes on from this world. But John Kakstys was no ordinary man, he was an icon among his friends and associates. We will keep these wonderful images of John forever.
Rest in peace good friend.
