We lost a great man, friend and family member. John could always make you feel better no matter what was going on. He always thought of others before him self.
You are loved John and always will be. Prayers for you and your family. Get them to rock up in heaven with your music.

My wife and I spent the month of February across the drive from Joan and John in FL this year. Every time I saw him outside, I went over to spend time with him. I learned so much about him during that short time, but the thing that really sticks with me is that he was a good person. I consider him my friend. RIP ol buddy. Much love to the family. Tom
