John will be missed at our North American Coal Reunions! He was always the first one to make his reservation & enjoyed being with his old friends. Our deepest sympathy to his family.
Johnny was not only my classmate from grade school through graduation, but he was a neighbor. As kids we played together, along with lots of other neighbor kids. Good memories.
My condolences to his family.
