    I haven’t seen John in years but looking at his photo I can hear his very unique voice and laugh like he is right here. Sorry for your loss. He was always a really funny and loyal friend.

    Fishing Buddy….his nickname for his best friend and himself. He was always there when needed for anything for his family and friends. Lots of gret memories. Looked after the ones he cared about. Helped out countless times watching Mikey when we had work. He was Mikeys “Uncle John.” I know they’re together in heaven. He will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to his sons, mom, Aron and his family and friends. You’ll be missed, Fishing Buddy. ❤️
