John was an amazing mentor to me as a young umpire. I know this is two years later and I just found out about Johns passing, but I feel I have to say something. John was and is an amazing person. He helped me through the Babe Ruth Process up to what I am working now, college baseball. This season, my 2019 season, I am dedicating the first looking strike out to him. I will point to the stars and give him the honor he deserves. John you will be missed. Skrike 3!!! Its for you buddy. Rest In Peace.

I met John 34 years ago when I worked for Raymond Lennertz. I loved his laugh and his sense of humor. He will be missed. Rest in peace John.
