John was a man who would do anything to help someone who needed assistance. He was a extremely active member of Rolling Thunder VA Chapter 5 and supporter of our mission to assist the vets in our area. He will be greatly missed and will always be in our hearts and minds. I am proud to say that John was my friend.

uncle john you were always there for us, and I could never thank you enough for that. I remember camping trips, Halloween parties, family get togethers. you were always the jokester and we always had so much fun. I love you so much and I’m grateful for the time we had together in Florida when my dad passed. I clung to you because I knew it might be my last chance and you were so strong for us. I will cherish all the great times we had together.

I had a professional relationship with John, but he never let that stand in the way of telling any and all jokes, and telling me exactly what he thought. I always enjoyed the time we spent together and am glad to have known him.
