John we go way back to grammar school but many more memories than that. Putting our backpacks and hitchhiking out to California at 17 . Paintig houses together in the 80's, especially doing all those houses in Northboro . And all those weekends camping up in Readsboro. We list touch several years ago,and I wish we hadn't.
My condolences to your family.

Chris, Ann and Tom,
So sorry to learn of John’s passing at such a young age. I remember him from long ago when he was friends with my brother (Bob) and he had a painting business. May he rest in peace. Condolences to all of you.
