John was my idol growing up. I always rooted for him on TV Tounament Time. I used his style which helped me win many trophies; including 3 high average trophies in 2 different leagues. It was my pleasure meeting him and talking to him when he was bowling in Amsterdam NY- my hometown. Joe (Mr. V.) VERDERESE TEACHER AT CCHS TROY FOR 23 YEARS

My sincere sympathy to John's family and friends. I remember John from the early 1960's during my bowling years and I can still recall him saying "BE THERE" when he wanted or needed a strike. His bowling style was one that could not be replicated. My prayers will be said for John and family.
