I worked with John in the early 80's at International Boiler works and Detroit Stoker Co. Since then we have been long time friends. we recently got together to plan new hunting ventures and future visits to reminisce about life on the road and hunting our favorite State of Wyoming, it saddens me to think that John and I can no longer laugh about the things of the past and planning for the future. John is gone but he will not be forgotten

I remember John as a bigger than life kinda guy. He used to come into the store where I worked in Stroudsburg. I would hear the bike before I saw the person riding and would wonder which colorful individual was coming to visit. John was a Great American !! and will be missed by many. God Speed John.
