John was a special human being with a gift for invention. He was a guy you liked to be around, humble and kind and always smiling. You would never know what he had accomplished in life unless you pried it out of him. We were lucky to have him cross our path. He was one of the good guys that when you think about, brings a smile to your face. God bless you my friend.
