Getting to know John from the early part of our jobs with AA was truly an incredible blessing! His friendly smile and gifted ability to help people laugh or smile was always welcome. Also a man who held integrity and love for his family and friends very high.He will truly be missed by many and my deepest sympathies to his wife Marcia and family. May the peace and healing of our Savior Jesus be upon the hearts of all his loved ones and upon John for all eternity. A thankful old friend, Al Pruszka
