We have lost an incredible man. John was like another brother to me for over 30 years. He was someone I knew I could count on for anything at anytime. I'm sure there were others in his life who felt the same way. He fought his way through a number of health issues, always fighting and remaining strong. He loved his wife and his family and spoke of them often. We had some great times, some of them a bit extreme. I'm surprised we were never arrested together. I will miss John deeply. God has taken away your pain my friend. God bless the family. I pray for peace and comfort for all of you.
