I was saddened to hear about John's passing. He and I were good friends in high school. We spent many good times together -- school, sports (especially wrestling), fishing, camping, video games, and shoveling snow and then spending our earnings at Pizza Hut. I was fortunate to have been his friend and teammate during that time period in our lives. Rest in peace John.
My sincere condolences to the entire Bieniek family.

Johnny you will be missed dearly. Your laugh was contagious and your smile was electric that had everyone smiling. We had awesome times to remember growing up throughout high school and 30 plus years after school. Sorry life was hard on you the last years you were on earth with us, you are pain free now and with many of our loved ones. God bless Johnny B! Fly high my friend. You’ll be missed!
