John was a good man from what I remember. I was a young adult and got to know Lorrie pretty well. John kept to him self. Always either giving some one a tow on or of the track. I can't say he was very social. But I only knew him in a brief capacity. I saw that he had passed and wanted to send my condolences to Lorrie and kids.
