My Dad and John grewup together, our family really loved John. A real man with a heart of gold. We miss you.

To the Karanikas family. Please accept my condolences, on my Seabee Mates passing. God needed an all around "Take charge guy" for his workers. John was the best. A "Jack of all trades" and a great person. God bless, "Mate".From Joe 90 yrs and a WWII Navy Seabee veteran of the 110th Battalion, Saipan & Tinian, and the Marshal Isles.
