Our deepest sympathies on the passing of John. His earthly struggles are over and he is now breathing easily in heaven. When I think of John, I always recall his basketball skills in high school. He was too small to play on the inside, but had an awesome shoot from the perimeter. Once you met John you were his friend for life. My husband PT fully enjoyed all the fishing trips he, John, Carty and Tom made on the Mississippi River at Bellevue. We will miss receiving his annual Christmas cards this year and in the future. Rest in peace, John.
