I met John when I was added to his bowling team at PV Bowl in about 1978. Then about 25 yrs later we bowled together again when I joined the afternoon Sr Leagues along with Gus Vandenberg (RIP) and Gene Stickney (RIP). The 4 of us had some good times together, especially when we celebrated our birthdays at La Capilla in downtown Torrance. RiP John.
