Nora and Family,
We are all very sad about "Pop". One of the most kindest and devoted man to his family. He loved his grandchildren and whenever he came to my home to get Nick or Alex, there was always that sparkle in his eyes when he seen them.

God Bless you "Pop" for you will be always remembered in our hearts forever.

I started work at Firestone in 1990 and John was one of my checkers. He was always very helpful,patient and nice to work with. We all missed him when he retired and are sorry that he did not enjoy his retirement longer.
We will always think of his kindness.

I worked with John when I first started at Firestone and until he retired. I have learned alot from him and really appreciate everything he taught me. Thanks John. God's speed.

I worked with John for 40 years and he was a true professional.

You will be greatly missed Grandpa by me and all the other grandchildren you loved so much. Your Great Grandsons and I will remember you always.
God Bless,
Brandi
