My condolences. I knew John through the eye clinic (two different locations). The first time I met him I needed a pair of emergency glasses made right away as I lost a pair and broke another over the course of a week and he was awesome and super helpful getting those made for me very fast. Then later on when he moved to the other location I saw him a few other times. I always seem to step or sit on my glasses and break them and had multiple broken pairs that I thought could not be fixed (screws broken out, wires snapped, etc.) However, to my surprise he was able to fix the broken pairs I had in minutes I was amazed plus he always was very helpful at helping me pick out new pairs and size the frames perfectly. Super nice guy, he was the best at what he did.

I grew up next door in the sixties and seventies with John and Raymond. We had many years of having fun and enjoying those times, times I will always cherish! Ron Morrison
