God Bless you John. I grew in Travis and John was one of my best friends. Below is a picture of me, Larry Capelli (my cousin), Bob Wilson and John taken in July 1971 in Disney Land CA after we picked John up from college and did some more tours of the Southwest before heading back to Staten Island. I lost contact with John, Barbara and their parents shortly after when I moved away and now live in Michigan. John and I had a lot of fun as kids and teens. Fond memories of the XMAS eve parties with the Opulski clan. All my best to Barbara and Richie. Please accept my sincere condolences. See you again John!

I know Johnny from Travis and from California. Fun memories of him being a `cool´ guy with always a smile and going for rides on his motorcycle. It´s heartbreaking that he is now gone.
