The world has lost a special man. When John drove a bus for me he transported a cute little special ed child. Because of the distence from home to school his bus arrived after the bell rang. I can still see John with that little girl in his arms to take her into the school. He was such a gentle, loving man always with his cowboy hat. I have such beautiful memories of him. I am blessed because he touched my life. My deepest sympathy to his family. He will be missed but his beautiful, loving memories will live on. Rest in peace John. I loved you man!!
