That he is my dad and that he LOVES fishing. My favorite Memory with him is when we went fishing together and when he said 'yes' to everything.

John is such a good and loving man. I wish I could have spent more time with him but unfortunately life got in the way. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. He has taught me a lot of good things in my earlier childhood and it has stuck with me throughout life. Thanks John for everything you did for me. I love and miss you.
