My condolences to John's family. I worked with him at PCA and then we built the new plant together in 1995 finishing it a month early. That was John always there to help if he could a great production manager. He will be miss RIP John.

Brooke and family, What a lovely tribute to a great Dad! My condolences for your loss. Much love, Laura

My condolences to the family. John was a gentleman and an outstanding athlete. He was a great inspiration to ballplayers and athletes.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Prokopis family. I have very fond memories of playing for and against John´s teams. And of carpooling for Judge little league football. Much love to you Ted and Brooke. And to your mom as well.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. So many good memories of the Cosgriff years.

Marie and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your are in my thoughts and prayers.

ONE of my favorite memories is when Brooke and I were in 4th grade. We went to the Cottonwood Mall Bowling Alley with $5 thinking that was enough. After 4 hours of bowling and racking up a tab of $72.00 we had to call John to pick us up and pay our bill. I don't think he was very happy with us :)

So sorry to hear of John´s passing, Marie and family. He was a loving and gentle soul.

My heart and prayers go out to you all. jP was loved by many and will be forever missed! RIP JP
