John was misunderstood by many but his friends knew what a good person he was deep down and what a big heart he had. He bowled with us for many years and then taught me how to be the treasurer. He was union treasurer while I was a trustee; we had good times there too. Tough Johnny was one of a kind and I am glad our paths crossed. I'm glad we got to share some laughs, may you rest in peace
