I taught John math at Troy High many years ago. He was very much a gentleman and I was impressed by his hard work and perseverance. I bought tires from him many years later and was impressed again. The world is a better place because of people like John. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

All my love and prayers to John's family at this time. I first met John when I had to replace tires on my car, asked for his business card and noticed his last name.....he was surprised I knew how to say it and of course I just had to ask if he was Abenaki, and explained my story....he was so proud to show me his card. Andd of course from that point on I would tell everyone to go there with their business, etc. I'm just so proud to have met him....he was such a kind and beautiful person. Delores
