Please accept my condolences on the loss of John. I worked with him for many years at Ocean Lakes high school in Virginia Beach. He was an awesome man and a good friend and a great teacher.

Mr & Mrs Beaver, Robert, Lynn . John was a great person who would do anything for anyone. Loved his family and his friends . But his greatest gift was working with and helping the less fortunate, John was the person who got those people ready for the real world ,and able to live normal lives we all take for granted. Fly High John, I will surely miss you.

Mr. & Mrs. Beaver, Robert & Lynn you are in my thoughts and prayers. Growing up in Girardville, I have many happy thoughts of the many activities that John and I were involved in. Travies basketball league, we were teammates on the Blackhawks. In LL baseball John was on the Dodgers and me on the Phillies. Cub Scouts at St. Vincents. I think you Mrs. Beaver were a Den Mom. And just plain ole running around town. This is going back to the early 70's, I remember when you guys got that new white Chevy Nova? and were driving around town. John and Robert had big smiles on their faces. John was a great classmate in school. He got along with everyone. In Girardville Elementary we were in the B group. As we got older we drifted apart, but graduated together from North Schuylkill in 1979.
