When we were younger, John and I were pretty good friends and BMA. I´m sorry I lost contact with him over the years but he was a good guy and a good friend. I would like to come to the funeral, but I´ve just had three major surgeries myself, and I can´t drive that far or ride that far I´m sorry for your loss .

We shared so many wonderful memories over the last forty years. You lived well, laughed often and loved much. We will sadly miss your laughter and your stories. Tom and Cassie

John was my close friend and insurance guru for more than 47 years. His honesty and straight forward communications created a bond between the two of us through thick and thin. Joanie, my sympathy. What a loss.
