If you were a friend of John’s you were a friend for life.
John was always looking to have a good time and wanted everyone else to have a good time as well.
John loved to entertain people whether at the lake cabin or at his home.
He was the most giving person I know.
John and I became known as the Bahama Mama Boys, this was a drink we discovered on a cruise in 1999.
We will always have special memories provided by John.
He loved to look at the stars while at the lake pointing out constellations with a flashlight to everyone.
His friends were like family and he will be missed by all.
