John I’ll miss you so much you grumpy old man! I already miss the mornings when you were one of the first people I’d see. All the breakfasts you’d bring for us to eat together in the mornings at State Ave and the conversations we shared meant so much more than you ever knew. I would have never imagined the last time I would have seen you was that morning. Thanks for the McDonald’s apple pie that day. You are one of the greatest! Thank you for letting us know each other and all the “Chris, let me ask you a question” conversations.

No words can express what a feeling it was to hear of John passing. He was my best friend for many years, my go to person when I thought I needed someone, he was always honest and straight with me no matter if I liked hearing it or not. You don't find many true friends like John. Our friendship got me through many tough times in life and I will cherish our friendship and Memories as long as I live. Fly High Ol Buddy! Until we meet again.
