I'm so sorry to hear about John's passing! My thoughts & prayers go out to his family. I can't recall how I came to meet John , but we hit it off as friends! We had a lot of good times, during his time in Portage Police Reserves, dealing with electronics. I know he rode Harley's but we only did few runs. He was a great guy/friend and will be missed!

So sorry to hear of John's passing.
I have such fond memories of playing at Johnna and Shalee's in the early to mid 70s and the fun we had. I remember one night Johnna and I snuck out of bed to surprise her parents by doing dishes. We were too loud and woke her parents and were promptly escorted back to bed. I was lucky enough to be invited to trips to visit Grandma on the lake on occasion and John would take us out on the boat. Fond memories, always a family man.
