Feels like a hundred years ago since I talked with him, we were neighbors and he would always be there if we needed help with anything. He's a beam of light that will go out in our heart's. Deepest sympathy to all of the family .

John was my best friend and neighbor. He always made me laugh. Even after not seeing him for 20yrs he was still the kind and caring friend that everyone would want to have.
