I met John when he first came to Kenosha to work at AMC. We shared an apartment above JC Motors. He was the nicest an most polite young man you could imagine. Sounds like he retained that quality the remainder of his life. God bless you John.

John was a very nice neighbor. Always waved and said hi when we saw each other outside. We are sorry to hear of his passing. Bought Girl Scout cookies from my daughter when she was younger. I'm going to miss seeing all his treasures in his yard if they get taken down.

John has been my longtime racing friend for approximately 30 years. We spent many a day at the races. We also talked for hours about what driver was ahead in the points and other race related stuff. I will miss him terribly because we shared so much time together.
I would like his family to contact me so I may send a Mass card for John to them.
My address is 7420 Clarendon Ct., Fox Lake, IL 60020
