Thank you Uncle Johnny for showing me how to pitch at a young age. I will always remember the games I watched you play. I will never forget the time I called play by play for a tournament in Edina, the highlight was calling your name and seeing grandma Boo boo and Aunt Sally's face. Rest in peace young man and keep coaching, "Hiiiii Toooot Tiiiiiie Yeeeeaaaahhhh!

John you will be missed dearly! Seems like just yesterday you were that crazy, sarcastic, fun-loving QU softball coach that we all loved. You treated each of us on the team like one of your own. Your sense of humor made for never a dull moment! Until we meet again coach, keep throwing strikes! RIP Stuts!

Sorry to hear this, he used to play ball with my dad and was a good friend of the family. We have a picture of him singing a song at my sister's wedding in his ball uniform. Some of my best memories of him are going to my dad's ballgames and watching him pitch. will never forget his grunts every pitch. RIP Stuts".

To Johns family: May you never forget the impact John had on so many lives at QU. He was dearly loved and made the game so enjoyable with his great humor and personality. He was one of a kind and never at loss for some humor. Through good times and bad, John was always upbeat. Sherrill Hanks you made a great choice. MISSED
