I loved going to his house with my brother Matt and we would play pool, listening to good music and having some great laughs. He played cribbage with my farther for many years and I know that they are up in heaven playing together once again.

My deepest condolences to John's family. I was saddened to hear of his passing. We played a lot of pool together and against each other and I always really enjoyed his company. We spoke from time to time during his treatments and he was always optimistic about it. I am very thankful that I was able to call him my friend. Until we meet again....rest easy John.
