Wendy and Family, We are saddened by John"s passing and our prayers are with you.
I remember John as a happy man full of life, ready to play volleyball for hours and then waterski till dark. He was our third baseman and a good golfer. He had a huge smile that would brighten a dark room but there was only one girl for Big John, Wendy you were his everything and knowing John "the Kids" will be his legacy.
