I´ve only just found out that John has passed away as I live in the UK. John was a friend I made while selling Phoenix controls products from the factory John worked at. We became good long distance friends and I meet up with John whenever I visited the USA. John would do anything for a friend and he helped me on more than one occasion with work but even went out of his way to help me ship personal stuff from the USA to the UK for my American car hobby. My wife and youngest son last met John in cape cod when he drove down from Boston to meet us when we were on vacation. We are all so sad to hear of his passing and he will be dearly missed as a good friend on the other side of the pond. RIP mate and have a JD for me.

He was a comedian. He took seriously all of our family drama but was able to make us laugh despite the issue. I always enjoyed when he would come to our house for BBQ. I saw him last at my Mom's funeral and he took the time to attend her funeral and I was so thankful. Rest in peace cuz. I will never forget your kindness,wit and humor.
