Thank you John for letting me be with you almost every week on the phone the past two years during your ordeal. We laughed, we cried and we learned so much from each other. Rest in peace my friend.
He was one of my favorites, great sense of humor,
flirtatious, but nice. He will be missed, by family and friends.
Rip my friend Miss our fishing trips to Kyburs Always a great story to tell
