I have such fond memories of John, his father and brothers. So many times during my 40 year career, I was saved by this group of magicians. They could solve any problem, fix anything and always with a good sense of humor about the issue at hand. They were always there when you needed them. It was such a pleasure to watch them work, and I always took their advice on what was needed in the branches I supported.

Prayers for the grieving family

John was always friendly and had a good sense of humor. Remember him lending me his VHS camcorder. He also recorded our wedding in 1991. God bless Bambi and family.

John and I shared an office at the old M&T warehouse in Hollins Ferry. His desk was across from mine. Although we weren't very close off the job, Jon and I would swap jokes and stories across the room every morning. John was fun to be around and his stories about his brothers were always hilarious. Its been quite some time since I last saw John. I periodically have thought about the memories of him in the time that has passed by.

So long my friend. May Jesus accept your soul with waiting arms.
