John & I were close friends at Pleiku AB in 1968 flying countless missions in hostile territory. His constant good humor helped pass an otherwise grim year. We (my wife & I) spent R & R in Hawaii with John & wife #1. So sorry to hear of his passing.

I am lucky enough to call John's daughter Rachel one of my closest friends. I met John in her kitchen, shortly after he moved to Columbia County, New York to be with her and the children. He always offered me some of whatever he was cooking, no matter what time of day it was. And I happily partook in the freezer full of ice cream, thanks to John. My his memory be a blessing.

I remember running Wyuka cemetery, playing "electric chair" in the basement using a metal bowl, planning to rob Lokens grocery store with our cap guns... John was the greatest positive influence! In childhood and my life!!! Sandi -his favorite first cousin

Hard to express how the Mahaffey family and Landmesser family were linked from our beginnings in Sidney. Looking back it is such a short time of my life but oh so important. My condolences!

We shared quite a few special moments with John and they all involved hysterical laughter. It didn't matter...work, fishing, sitting around a campfire, or watching Nebraska football. Laughter was always a part of those events. Loved John and will never forget him.
