Michele & family- we just found out about John's passing and were truly shocked! John was a friend of mine from our days as kids in Fairview to our adopting him as a "Bison wannabe" at our reunions. He was without a doubt, one of the funniest guys I've ever known and this was matched by his wonderful personality and genuine caring for everyone. We will all miss him dearly and offer you all our most sincere condolences and many, many prayers. God bless you all!

I am not a big posting fan but this is about John. So I must and here goes. John was my best friend. We were so much alike. We both were helicopter crew chiefs/mechanics for the military. John would give the shirt off his back to help anyone. He always had my back. We had the same view of life, family, and how to raise our children. John helped me to fix up my first house including the dismantling and assembly of an old gas stove that did not work to magically make it function. John was...
