Words cannot express how sad we are to hear of John’s passing. I have known John for over 55 years and have to say he was one of the most unique people I have ever known or will know. Even though we haven’t seen him for a few years, he was always in our thoughts and prayers. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed by everyone, especially his beloved wife Veronica.
