My sympathies to Nancy and the Benoit family. I have not seen John in many years since moving to St. Louis but have many memories of John in our teens and twenties. Can't narrow it down to one event since it was always an adventure being with John from being his helper on the rug truck and time spent at Genoa park to standing up in his and Nancy's wedding. Never a dull moment spent with John.
Rest in Peace my old friend.
