I love you John,

I still laugh about our days working at Valley View Lake and helping out with the haunted house. John always mixed worth with fun and laughter. Your vibrancy will sorely be missed my friend.

Strap,
You rascal! You beat me AGAIN! The world is worse off you not being here to protect. Forever Guardian of the Coop and the secrets within. Compassionate FRIEND, loving brother and devoted son. Life-long compadre. May you rest in HIS Peace.

Johnny truly was one of a kind and the nicest person you would ever meet. I had the privilege of working with him for 20 years. He came into the office to drop off his paperwork. Every. Single. Time. before he left he would say, "do you need anything?" and he meant it. ANYTHING. He will be truly missed.
