I first met John when he was trying to move a dresser in his new place 1504 Farrell. I lived across the street. He always helped me with things around the yard and in the house. He was a blessing to me and I will miss him dearly. He was one of my best friends. He always enjoyed going out to dinner, but life passed me by so quickly as I was working so many hours that we never got together as often as I would have liked. He will always be one of my fondest memories. I grew to love him over the years. My blessings to his family members. Steve
