John was one of a kind.
He was great friend with my dad ( Ray) and I know now how they must be sharing a laugh in heaven!
John was a part of my childhood growing up as he was always hanging around with my dad at his Texaco station-seems like another lifetime ago.
Fishing, telling jokes, drinking a beer or 2, that was John! Just thinking of him puts a smile on my face.
To Joanne and JohnnyCake,
my thoughts are with you , may God bless your family!

Dan and Steve,
and the Hessler family.
