John was a truly good person and a great friend. I just found out about his passing, and all I can say is, that the world was a better place with him in it. Love you John.

My sincere condolences to John's family and friends. I've had the opportunity to work(for many years) and hang out with John and my son and friend to do a little fishing (at house on the bay).A great guy. He will be missed but never forgotten. Peter Graham(Faulkner Hospital, PowerPlant)

My sincere condolences to the entire Kowalker family at this difficult time. Johnny left me with a lot of great memories both at work and after work. Johnny was a great friend and a great fire alarm technician who had a solution for any problem that was thrown his way. I'm retired now, but the memories will always be with me.
God Bless Good Buddy.
