John was my true love from the age of 16 to 26. He took me to my high school prom. We spent many happy years together. He was a football player, and I cheered him on. It's a shame we never married or had any children. His memory will forever be in my heart.

John and I have been friends for years. Played ball in so many leagues together, including raising over ,fifty thousand dollars as a member of WGR High Five Basketball team. John visited me in Florida a bunch of times. John was a guy you wanted in your corner to have your back. John shocked me picking up the mic and sang a soul felt slow song at Karaoke with that deep voice! Rest in Peace, saving a spot for all your family,friends and teamsters! -surfer
