I was thinking about John yesterday when I went to his Facebook page and was so sad to see the obituary that was posted by Jack. I have such fond memories of John from my days of working with him at Evans & Moxon. I was only 20 years old when I started working there. He and Joe took me out to lunch for my 21st birthday and they bought me my first official glass of wine as an adult. He would take us out for rides at lunchtime in his awesome convertible cars that he loved so much. I would tease him about how he liked to open up cans of soup and eat them without cooking them. He said it went back to his survival days from being in the Service. I said it was just plain gross! :) He had a tremendous love for his cats and I loved taking care of them when he would go on vacation. He was there for me in so many ways and I don't think he ever knew how fondly I felt of him and my time I spent working for him. He was such a kind and giving soul and was very good to me. I lived in the renovated "Coop" at 20 N. Main Street, and those years were truly some of the ones I cherish the most. My deepest sympathies go out to his entire family. John was a good man, he and Ping raised a beautiful family and he will be truly missed.
