I worked with John at Waste Management, and Energy Transportation, LLC in West Virginia. John was a hard worker and a great friend, and will be missed by all of his colleagues. His family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Keep trucking in heaven buddy!

John would be so surprised at hearing from his old friend Roger and his cousins. He spoke of you all often when reminiscing about Lawton. He wasn't real technical so he didnt dig into a search but just know that I knew how he spoke of his Illinois family and the people around SW 27th, and Herbs and DQ and Lawton High. I miss him so much.

John was one of my older cousin's. The distance between our homes was great, but visits were always great. Lost track of him, and am sad that can't be fixed. Prayers to his family, you will be in our thoughts.

John and I were best friends beginning in the 60’s. Lived within a hundred feet of each other. Yet somehow went to different high schools. Lots of great memories of John and his family from those years. Johns father was always involved in the sports we played mainly football. He even gave me a job when I needed it at the lumber yard. John and I were a year apart in school. I lost track of him after high school. I’ve searched for John several times over the years. Unfortunately I found him this morning In the local news paper. I believe I will see John and his eternal enthusiasm again some day. Until then, Rest In Peace My Friend.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
