I met John when I was 15 years old! My parents house was next door to a new house being built! John was working construction and he wore purple shorts, no shirt! To a 15 year old gal he reminded me of one of The Beach Boys! My mom allowed him to take me for a motorcycle ride and still can´t believe she allowed it! John was always the sweetest guy and remained in touch with my parents with yearly Christmas cards and pictures, eventually marrying the love of his life Joey! We are sorry to hear of John´s passing! We send prayers to Joey and the family!
