A beautiful man. Beautiful family. He loved the key lime pies I made.
He was there in any crisis.
He was my escort several occasions as friends and will be missed dearly.

Saddened to see that John has passed. We were friends, lots of good times having worked the assembly line together for many years at Ford.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. We had some good times while we were growing up. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Our Dad and Mom were really good friends.
