I first started having taxes done by Paul. Then after his passing John took care of my business taxes and our personal taxes. I always thought it was so cool that John had his dog/dogs under his desk at work. John and I played golf together and had great conversations about hunting, fishing and solving the world's problems. I just today, 01/07/22 learned of John's passing. We are so sad to learn this. John was a true friend.

John was one hell of a guy. I was introduced to him by Randy. We all went to Michigan small mouth fishing, camping and just enjoying nature. I had a great time with him and he will be missed by many!
RIP John!!!!!!!
