From Casey Silliman, John as always the helper came to my rescue with household repairs after my husband, his wife's cousin passed away. John was a unique individual that lived his life to the fullest and always did whatever ideas popped in his head, whether it was Robin and him driving hours to try out a new restaurant or after a motorcycle ride to veer off from the group and go visit a friend. I always think of him and miss him.

I´m sorry for your loss. I had not seen him in years, until last year at the Tarentum night market and we sat and talked for awhile. It was great seeing him.
