I have many found memories of John beginning when I was just a young girl of about 14. He was also a good friend to my brother, who adored him. Through his employment with Mt. Bell his path crossed other friends and members of my family who worked with him. May your days soon brighten and your thoughts soon be filled with wonderful memories of times past as you celebrate a life well lived. He was a good and honorable man and will be missed by many. Everyone we knew in common thought and spoke highly of John. My sincere condolences.
