John and I go as far back as 1954. We were classmates for 9 years, but lost touch with one another for years. Ironically we just reconnected when I received an email dated December 20. I was looking forward to renewing our friendship. John was a great guy with an infectious smile. He will be fondly remembered.

December 30, 2014

Terry & Family, my heartfelt sympathy!
One of my fondest memories of John, was at a mutual friend's house, where he brought his "radio" so we all could sing old tunes. Thanks for the smiles, John :) RIP.

Shocked. Met Johnny when I was about 3. We grew up at Clovernook. At 6 he put my younger sister and I in his closet in the house on Galbraith with his dog barking at us. Scared us but I can still hear him laughing. At graduation he had a big bow pinned to his gown which brought the house down when he walked across the stage. When I took his picture at a class reunion he put a napkin on his head. Many many more stories!! That devilish grin and infectious laugh will remain always in my heart. Thoughts and prayers to Marge, Vern and his entire family.
