I knew John, he lived across the street when he lived in Van Nuys in the early 70's. We used to go Dirt Bike riding and go to the Motocross Races. He rode a ride share bus from Van Nuys to Boeing in Huntington Beach.We Moved to Santa Clarita Valley and lost touch with each other. Really a good buddy. He will be missed.
