John always had stories to tell. Because of his storytelling , he reminded me of my Dad who passed just a few years ago . I enjoyed listening to my Daddy so much . I was so glad my father sent John to tell me stories too.

For part of the last year I was John's neighbor and we spent time telling stories to each other. I came back for Thanksgiving to find out he had gone on to NYFD heaven. I'm sad. Iwish his family the deepest peace possible
