My condolences to John's family. I knew John for the better part of 20 years, although I haven't seen him recently. John had a great personality and sense of humor. I will miss him.

No words can describe how sorry I am to hear of Johns passing. I grow up with him as a kid and had many great times with him over the years. I was planning to come up to Kenosha this summer and he was one of the few I wanted to visit with and talk with.Thinking of John always brings on a chuckle. Guess I will have to put on some Voodoo Child and open a cold one in respect to John, and if I don't meet you no more in this world.Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one. May his soul rest in peace and comfort. I would like to express my sincere condolences to his two sisters Maria and Alicia and his whole family.
