I am sorry to hear of John's passing. I met him in 1979 and had worked with him at Hiler's Trucking on occasion. Great guy loved his sense of humor. My condolences to the family.

Cathy,
Sorry for the loss of your brother. I remember him when I would visit your Mom's house as a little girl with my Great Aunt Margie. He always made me laugh. Sincerely Diane Coffey
