CandleJohn was a great Guy. He was always helpful and as far as Relay For Life, he was always very giving. I worked with him for 33 years and always found him to be upbeat and positive. Even when he was battling with his bad days, he always inquired how Ron was doing in his battle with cancer. We compared notes on the subject and always ended up with a laugh for the day....We will miss you John....You were truly one of a kind. Sending Love & prayers for the Family

I worked with John for 26 years at Amron and there was never a more dedicated or hard working person than John. You gave cancer one hell of a fight and now it's time to take some time off. Rest in peace dear friend, you earned it.
