I worked for John and his father in-law Joe back
in the mid 70's at Lyell Service Station . I couldn't have had two nicer gentlemen to work for. I miss them both but I have a lot of great memories of time I spent with them. Rest in peace John , you always will be remembered and loved .

John was a very special friend to our family.. He used to call my brother, Dan, Archie, just for fun. He was always kind and loving to our family. We will miss him. My heart is with you Elaine, Jolene, and John and their families..
Love, Chris Dandrea-Walker
