John remembering you this day and how so many miss you & love you. Remembering that whirlwind trip to Cooperstown that you, Jared , Doug & I took in 1991. Fun trip watching your faces during our tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Happy to always have that memory of time spent with you.

Although we lived states apart, one of my fondest memories is of our cousin day trip to Cooperstown those many years ago. We had such fun that day. Praying that the Lord enfolds this family in His Arms during this time & gives us all the Faith & Strength needed during this time. Your cousin, Rosanne

So sorry for this devastating loss Jen and family. I think my first memory of John was riding the bus, maybe in third grade, and he asked me if I had pudding on my arm hahaha. It was a birthmark. In my memories of him, he was always laughing and joking. Prayers and love for the family.

John and I played in the same Little League prior to high school playing football together. Back in Little League I cracked the ball good one day and started running only to be disappointed that someone in the outfield made a great play catching my hit...that someone I found out was John. Later in High School He used to tease me about that day in study hall drawing cartoons of that play on a notebook and pending it forward for me to "reminisce". John was a great guy and great athlete, he will be missed. Though I haven´t seen John in years after high school I still have fond memories of him. My sincere condolences to his sister Jennifer and the rest of his family at this difficult time. RIP buddy!!!
