I was introduced to John by Patrick about 5 years ago. Although it started as a business relationship, I feel it grew into more of a friendship with the entire Rojo crew. John welcomed me into his office for discussions about new signs for Rojo, however, it always ended up with us talking about muscle cars. We chatted about about what we drive, drove and how fast we drove them.
John, it has been both an honor and pleasure.

John was truly a good friend to us and our family all through the many years we knew him! God bless you and all of your family.
