So sincerely sorry to hear the loss of John and my sympathy goes out to the entire family at this most difficult time. I read it in the St. Francis High School Tau Newsletter Winter/Spring 2021 I received in the mail today. We shared many memories as best friends in SFHS Class of 1979. I recently touched base with him on Facebook. The world has lost a true angel and most talented man. Rest in Peace John. You can now have fun once again with your good friend as well as mine Darryl Tomaka who also left this earth way too early. We will carry the torch always in your memory..

My condolences to John's family. There will be a huge void in our Rock Steady family. John was friendly and kind and always willing to help those that were technologically challenged. He will be greatly missed.
