I got my first car when I was 16 and John was my insurance agent. And he has been for 33 years. He was more than an agent - he was a kind, optimistic, enthusiastic, and trustworthy person who cared about his clients´ lives. I´m so sad to hear of his passing. All my love to his dear family.

Marcy and Family,
Sending our deepest condolences for the loss of John. I spoke to him recently and we reminisced about spending Fourth of July´s with your family at your mom and dads house. My kids still talk about the awesome firecrackers Bill and Kevin would set off! I remember John´s great laugh at all the antics! He will be missed by all who knew him.
