To John´s family, friends, and coworkers my deepest sympathy to all. I remember John and his brother racing down George Street to get to home on Ross Road. John had modified fast cars and seeing him at Washington parking lot then on Research Pkwy or route 9 light-up roads. He took me for a couple of fast joyrides, what a thrill ! Then working PW&A as a master mechanic inspector, John was the top diffuser inspectors and I learned a lot from him. Fun growing up with his talent for making cars faster and working with him as one of the few last master mechanic inspectors plus never dull moment. Rest in peace with brother Robert.
