My condolences to the family during this time.We grieve which is natural but as one who has experienced this with my twin this is a loss which we feel so deep but in the end it's one we all must go through.John during his time touch a lot of kids hearts that needed him, he was their father figure ,probably with that big smile and encouragement.These kids will never forget and for some it set them on the right path. So remember your husband,father,brother,in-law or friend and his big smile...

John was one of greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Warm, caring, funny charismatic. John got me into powerlifting in the 90's and was a great influence on me in lifting and in life. Those days at the Holley were some of the best times of my life.
