Even though I just met John in the last 10 years he was really great friend.
The kind of person you could always rely on he is really going to be missed.
God bless all who he left and who loved him

This man meant a great deal to me. I worked for and with him for over 20 years. He was a kind and giving man who never turned away someone in need. Never. I've learned so much about life and business from him. And for that I am most grateful. He leaves behind a family who loved him greatly and two sons fully equipped to carry on the family business...this I know made him incredibly proud. The tears that I've had with his passing and the ones to come in the next few days, weeks, etc. will never equal all the laughter and good memories he has left me with. I am blessed to have known him and I will miss him terribly...

"To the family of Buddy, my thoughts and Prayers go out to you. I graduated with Bud and he was always very pleasant and a gentleman. My husband is a car lover also and would see Bud at the car shows around town. So sorry we didn't get to talk with him before his passing. He will be remembered at our 60th reunion coming up.

John was a great friend and all around good guy. Always ready to help any one out in any way he could. I've know him for many years and his sister Mary Lou was my 3rd grade teacher. I will miss him ALOT. Going to car shows or just stopping by his office just to talk, and trips to Manheim and York to the street Rod Nationals. A true friend....
