JOHN PLAKANS

Shelly, Jeff and Dan - I am so very sorry for your loss. So many great memories beyond playing tennis. We were so connected with our children and sports living a street apart. Helping build the tennis court and the back porch on Hunters Ridge, as if we knew what we were doing!! but those projects turned out great! I like others will not miss that wicked kick serve, which had me seeking him out as a doubles partner so I didn’t have to face it. Now we have Janis, Chuck and Jack dancing in ...

Could not be a better guy .I will miss him deeply.I won’t miss not being able to return his tennis serve !!

Shelly , Am sorry to hear this. My sympathy to all his family . Enjoyed being neighbors so much.

We are sending you our love and sympathies. We have many wonderful memories playing tennis at the Eastern and enjoying the Marblehead scene. We are deeply sorry for your loss Shelly.

I am saddened to read about the death of my friend John. I first met him when he sold me his motor scooter back in the late '70's. John treated me very well during that transaction which led to a friendship for decades. He was kind, soft spoken and smart. One of his jobs was working with another friend of mine, the late Bob Johnson, CEO of !st Securities. I want his family to know that I care...he was quite a guy!!

We will miss you John.
