John was a family man that loved his family and friends. I went to school with his 2 daughters and got to meet him through them. He is going to be missed by a lot but not forgotten . Rest in Peace, John.

I trucked with John back in the 70's. He was a good truck driver and a hard worker. He also was a good friend and once referred me for a job. The industry could use more good people like John.
