My sincere condolences to John's family and friends. John was an outstanding gentleman and one excellent mechanic. I am so thankful of the opportunity to get to know John while he operated Oak View Automotive. I almost looked forward to my car breaking down, just so I could go into the shop and shoot the breeze with John. It takes a special kind of person to make you look forward to having car troubles :-) Thank you for all the help, John!
